Reason for starting Topspin Table Tennis Academy

Topspin Table Tennis Academy is brain child of Mr. Shanker. The creation of the table tennis academy goes like this. He was compelled to learn table tennis by his parents at the age of 10 years. He was recognized by Central Bank of India Staff Sports and Recreation club as a player and was captain of the Bank’s team for 15 years. This made him to develop passion towards the game and was motivated to start a Table Tennis Academy and take up table tennis as his profession.

Efforts of Mr. Hari and Mr. Boopathi, brothers of Mr.Shanker in stabilizing and developing the academy are immeasurable.
Jaiwanth, son of Mr. Shanker has always been a driving force in development of the academy. Even the name of Academy “TOPSPIN” was suggested by him.
Coaches Mr. P.V.Ramakrishnan, national veteran player and Mr. A.Devaraj, former state player have been playing key role in molding the students in achieving laurels in various competitions at interschool, district, and state level.
