A former volunteer herself, she is keen to highlight the increasingly important role they play in our sport. ‘Having played table tennis from the age of 14 and volunteered from 15, I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to work for Table Tennis England,’ she enthused. © Table Tennis England ‘I am passionate about helping improve the volunteer journey, and empowering and encouraging volunteers through awards such as The Pride of Table Tennis Awards.’ Lucy recently graduated from university where she studied sport, culture and society, while also volunteering for football’s equality and inclusion organisation, Kick It Out. Fancy footwork Our coaches were made to work up a sweat by TTE North Development Officer Sally Shutt in September, with the CPD day in Lancashire focusing on footwork and movement drills. The innovative course, which continues to run nationwide, also looks at progressing players from beginner to competition level. As our video shows, the day involves some useful and creative ideas to take away and use within your sessions. For more information about CPD courses in your area please click here.
