History

Ferndale Table Tennis club was first established as a TTk Greenhouse academy in 2007. The academy was overseen by Welsh International player Stephen Gertsen he was at the academy for 3 and a half years and had great success during his time here. Then ex-Scottish Junior International player Scott Johnston who was assistant coach at old TTk school Tonypandy and had previously helped Stephen with his coaching duties at Ferndale took over. Scott was in the position for a year. Scott moved on but the club has again managed to get a new coach who is going to continue to allow the club to grow. Gwyn Carvill from Bridgend TT club has now taken over at the school and will hopefully use his knowledge of the game and links within welsh table tennis to help the club go from strength to strength.

TTAW Leaders Award

Just before the half-term holiday 5 Ferndale players travelled to Cardiff to sit the above mentioned coaching course with Welsh National coach Ryan Jenkins. All players worked hard and impressed Ryan with there skills and knowledge of the sport. The players were put on the course by Ferndale 5x60 officer Chris Emsley. All players passed the course and will hopefully use these awards gained to help promote Table Tennis in the local area and in the school for lunch clubs. Players who passed the course were:

Dylan Lewis
Ethan Lewis
Liam Winder
Chris Griffiths
Jamie Davies

Well done to all players on starting your coaching career.
