Nueva Ecija Cabanatuan City Table Tennis Association

Nueva Ecija Cabanatuan City Table Tennis Association
January 25, 2012
It’s always amazing to see very young kids that are determined to excel and was trained to win. It was Coach Dante and his daughters' unwavering passion for table tennis that made Nueva Ecija Cabanatuan City Table Tennis Association an icon of excellence and fun. As always I was welcomed by their warm smiles Patricia, etc etc. Presly was also there, gave me a high five and walked me in.

The kids were about to start training. As I have heard they are preparing for an upcoming meet this February 15. Energy is flowing and there seems to be no shortage of fun and laughter. I noticed how these young ladies were trained to use long pimples. As Coach Presly uses her experience as a LP user herself, I could see she got a handful of talents striking good blocks and receives service really effectively with their weapon of choice.
I enjoyed playing with the kids that I couldn’t stop myself from hitting a few shots with my Barong on and with leather shoes sliding on the floor. They were all so hungry for perfection. And I guess Presly will agree with me that they just need to work on the winning shout part where they should be intimidating the opponent rather than flashing that cute smile.

How much I wished I could have come earlier to chat and know how they started, but I still have to go down to Pampanga for an early work tomorrow. I hope next time I would be lucky enough to have a chance interview with Coach Dante Galman. I would certainly love to know the history of NECCTTA, and probably he could share some secrets in training and coaching champions. 

For those nearby, Nueva Ecija-Cabanatuan City Table Tennis Association is in 3rd Floor at Mega Center Cabanatuan City. For Reservations and or Training you can contact directly Coach Dante Galman 09089551295 or Presly 09229596472. 

Location Facts:
From Manila, Cabanatuan is about 111 kilometers by NLEX by Santa Rita exit and through the Pan-Philippine Highway along the length of Bulacan province. Since the opening of the SCTEX most motorists prefer travelling the whole of NLEX to SCTEX exiting in La Paz, Tarlac and on to Zaragoza and Santa Rosa in Nueva Ecija to Cabanatuan City.

Smash Power Pampanga

If you like eating that much there is no other place in the country that is best to visit than Pampanga. Kapampangans are well known for their culinary skills. That is why it is the "Center for Culinary Arts." Yes, Sisig was born here! Anyway, I'm not here to make you hungry but to make you want to get your table tennis racket and swing it away. I happen to visit one of the largest fitness center in San Fernando Pampanga - SMASH POWER. And yes it is a haven for Badminton players because it is primarily a badminton house not until last year that they invested on Tables Tennis Equipments. And not just tables - Butterfly Table Tennis Tables! 4 Tables protected by plactic to prevent dust. These 25k peso babies are really well taken care of. Refreshments and some snacks Well, I only saw a few butterfly balls on sale but Badminton enthusiasts would be happy to see the displays And these too! Or Table Tennis might not be

Olongapo City Pongers

February 16, 2012 Who said only La Union has both bowling lanes and table tennis playing area? Crystal Lanes in Olongapo houses probably most of Gapo’s best table tennis players.  It is in here I have found friends and several other players who spent liters of sweat to train and meet other players. Emer their in-house Coach/Trainor told me that they are housing strong players here and strong drinkers alike. While I was bursting in laughter I felt how deep friendship was with these enthusiasts and athletes.  It is in this place I saw bi-talented individuals (playing table tennis and bowling at the same time).  The place comes alive right after school or office hours. Players from different schools and industries come here to either release stress or develop their talents.  Though the place can get a bit crowded when there are bowling players and visitors but no one can stop you from enjoying the sport you have always loved. Anyway be it a small place or not, a tabl

Finally I Got to Visit Amoranto!

What could be better than waking up early on a lazy Saturday morning, meet with your buddies and play table tennis in Amoranto QC?! I've been in Amoranto several times and my last visit was maybe a year ago. It was all better and wider now with lots of new tables and of course great players to play with. I've been here several times. Amoranto has always been an Icon, a common place you would hear from newbies and professionals. Ting Ledesma and Ms.Jojo plays here regularly. Too bad I did not get any chance to meet them. But I did found some of the regulars like the dashing debonair Coach Marquez with his trainee in action. I had a few chats with other fellow players and as usual I was so hooked in playing I forgot to take more photos and take down notes. Now I'm having a hard time recalling everyone of them. The Amoranto Legends My good friend and a potential table tennis racket collector (has more than 6 dream racket setup, Sardius-Tenergy-Tenegy, TimobollALC
