- After school Tennis-Table
Starting this year, IST is offering a new after-school activity in collaboration with coach Simone Magris for students from Grade 3 to Grade 13: Ping Pong
Coach Simone is a technician and a competitive athlete of the Sportni Krozek Kras sports club, one of the best table tennis clubs in Italy, which has recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. Coach Simone is a qualified first-level technician at the FITET (Italian Table Tennis Federation), a qualification he was awarded two years ago.

The course will offer specific exercises to develop the coordination necessary to play table tennis.

All this is combined with matches for students to practice skills and have fun!
The courses will start on Friday, 7 October and will end at the end of the school year. For any clarification, you can contact Simone Magris via email at simonemagris@alice.it or on 3317144043.
