Held at the Conference Room of the Indoor Stadium at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas, the TOC course was conducted by Chan Foong Keong, an ITTF Course Conductor and the secretary general of the Table Tennis Association of Malaysia.
Brunei Amateur Table Tennis Association (BATTA) vice president Johnny Chong awarded the participants their certificates, said BATTA in a press release yesterday.
The national sports associaiton requested that the course be organised in order to ensure that the 20th South East Asian Junior Table Tennis Championships in June runs smoothly.
