Eighteen months ago brothers Jaden and Ian Cao had only played social table tennis.
They now represent Queensland as members of South Brisbane Table Tennis in Logan Central.
They discovered how good they were by joining Logan’s Krank school holiday program.
Jaden, 11, said the fun activity motivated him to keep playing table tennis.
Ian, 10, said it was a great way to meet new people.
Both boys now take part in weekly training and regular competitions.
Jaden has his sights set on being selected in an Australian team next year. Ian is still too young to try out.
South Brisbane Table Tennis will be looking for its next champion player during the upcoming school holiday program featuring free and low-cost activities in the City of Logan in January.
Table tennis is among more than 110 active and creative activities that will be available for children and teens aged 5-17, from January 7-22.
South Brisbane Table Tennis operator Giovanni Cnapich said the centre’s members range in age from 4 to 85.
“We are so proud of Ian and Jaden and many others who are tracking the same path,” Mr Cnapich said.
Activities are always popular and those interested are encouraged to book early once the booking window opens at 9am, Monday December 12.
