“There are so many new rules and techniques in the game which our athletes need to be acquainted with, thus the need for adequate training.
“So, the camp is expected to run from July 14 to Aug. 4.
“Today (Monday) is the arrival date and we are expecting no fewer than 15 athletes in camp,’’ he said.
The NSF president explained that the championships would involve male and female players in both the singles and doubles categories.
