Four years ago, the United States Coaching Committee had a dream to bring the ITTF Coaching Development Programme to the USA Table Tennis Association and to use that programme to bring about a new professional culture for American Coaches.
Immediately, the International Table Tennis Federation supported that dream by sending Glenn Tepper, Deputy ITTF Deputy Chief Executive Officer, to conduct the first ever ITTF/PTT Level One Course and Level One Course Conductor Course to be held in the United States.
Undoubtedly, the year 2010 was a watershed.
The programme quickly took off in the United States, as self-funded regional ITTF Courses were organised in all regions of the country.
In 2012, another milestone for the programme was reached as the ITTF showed its support to the USA Table Table Tennis Association by sending Philippe Molodzoff, author of the ITTF Advanced Manual, to conduct the first ever ITTF Level Two Course in the United States.
Thanks to the efforts of United States Course Conductors, Christian Lillieroos, Sydney Christophe, Larry Hodges,
