The word of the FTTA President

The Schiltigheim city, highlight of table tennis in Alsace, together with the Urban Community of Strasbourg, European by nature and headquarters of the European Parliament, welcome the 7th edition of the EMC.
A competition which became since a few years a true European Championships for the boys and girls players 11 and 12 years old, sometimes younger.
A competition which grows rich with the participation of an ITTF team which is composed by hopes coming from several countries of other continents.
The EMC became of an obvious importance for all the nations. The evaluation of the sporting values and the policy of research of talents of each country are put in the front. Indeed it frequently appears that the winners and all the best competitors of each event will meet again a few years later on the occasion of the European Youth Championships.
This EMC looks like its big brother, the tournament of "small aces" in lawn tennis where most of the winners became the best players in the world and we have nothing to envy it in the sporting field.
End of August 370 young kids will be present, among them 160 French players and 130 coaches. It lets augur very special matches between these kids having still a fragile mental, well anchored technical abilities and without doubt a strong willingness to win.
Under the auspices of the ETTU which fully trusts us and the FFTT, this is a major organization in the calendar. It is for sure difficult, complex but professionally assumed by the club US Schiltigheim and by the Alsace TT association with their numerous volunteers. An organization which needs 3 halls, 60 tables and a competent and numerous umpiring team.
Nearly 40 countries represented, it is a true success and I thank all the delegations present to trust us again by taking part in.
A big thank you to all our institutional local partners: the Schiltigheim city, the Urban Community of Strasbourg, the Regional Council of Alsace and the General Council of Bas-Rhin which have all understood the importance and the meaning of this event.
I really wish that these 7th EMC will allow to discover new true talents and that France will appear at the 1st row. But for them long will be the road, because before becoming real champions they will have to pass over a lot of obstacles.

Good luck to all of you, boys and girls!
