Jac selected by ITTF

Jac Jenkins has been selected, along with 89 other young players from around the world, for the ITTF 'Hopes' project.

The project, which has been running since 2009, allows players to train and compete at events around the world and gain valuable experiences whilst developing their table tennis.

The first stop will be the Werner Schlager Academy in Austria this June for an initial training camp and tournament. If Jac progresses he'll be off to Korea and France for further events later in 2011.

The programme is funded by the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation), Butterfly and the WHT (World Hopes Training) project.
