The programme is self-funded by the Guyana Table Tennis Association and supported by the ITTF and forms a key pillar in the GTTA’s development thrust, aimed at positioning the association to establish a coach certification pathway and structure, Developing a nucleus of coaches with the right attributes and attitudes and technical capacities to develop players with the correct technical and tactical orientation. It also is aimed to aid the GTTA’s Decentralization of the sport and institutional strengthening.
