Expanding Horizons: Inclusive Table Tennis Takes Root at Ganga Rehab, Coimbatore Training Camp

In a significant stride towards diversifying its sporting offerings, Ganga Rehab, Coimbatore, in association with Sittruli Foundation, has embarked on the journey of introducing Inclusive Table Tennis to its array of adaptive sports. This latest addition is not merely about introducing a new sport; it symbolizes a commitment to fostering inclusivity and providing diverse avenues for athletes with disabilities. 

A New Dawn for Inclusive Sports: 

The initiation of Inclusive Table Tennis marks a new chapter in the inclusive sports landscape at Ganga Rehab. With a strong foundation in Wheelchair Basketball, the inclusion of Table Tennis adds another layer to the holistic sports experience offered at the center. 

Coordinated Practice Sessions: 

Practice sessions witnessed a unique dynamic where the coach and volunteers stood on one side, while the players, seated in wheelchairs, occupied the other. This setup not only facilitated effective communication and guidance but also ensured that players were comfortable and engaged during the training. 

Ganga Hospitals’ Contribution: 

The establishment of the Table Tennis setup was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Ganga Hospitals. Recognizing the importance of providing a conducive environment for training, an indoor play area within the Rehab Center was designated for Table Tennis, ensuring that athletes could practice in a controlled and comfortable setting. 

Simultaneous Focus on Wheelchair Basketball: 

While the Table Tennis training gained momentum indoors, the regular Wheelchair Basketball training provided by Sittruli Foundation at Ganga Rehab’s premises, continued unabated on the outside, utilizing the expansive basketball ground. This parallel focus on different adaptive sports underscores Ganga Rehab’s commitment to offering a diverse range of activities to cater to varied interests and abilities. 

The Spirit of Inclusion: 

Inclusive sports are not just about physical activities; they embody the spirit of inclusion, teamwork, and shared accomplishments. The introduction of Inclusive Table Tennis is a testament to Ganga Rehab’s dedication to providing a platform where individuals of all abilities can thrive and compete. 

As Ganga Rehab continues to evolve into a hub of inclusive sports, the journey of Inclusive Table Tennis unfolds as a promising chapter. It is not just about honing athletic skills; it is about creating an environment where athletes can push boundaries, challenge themselves, and, most importantly, experience the joy of sportsmanship. With Inclusive Table Tennis, Ganga Rehab takes a giant leap towards creating a more inclusive and empowering future for individuals with disabilities.

The Resurrection of Goan Wheelchair Basketball: 

At the heart of the fest lies the revival of the Goan Wheelchair Basketball Team—a dormant force rejuvenated as the fourth participating team. With minimal preparation and just six wheelchairs arriving the day before the match, the team, like a phoenix, rose from inactivity. 

Cricket’s Storied Legacy: 

Cricket, deeply embedded in Goan culture, added another chapter to its storied legacy. The sport, adorned with numerous trophies, stood out as a symbol of pride and passion. 

Mr. Gunasekaran’s Guiding Hand:

Beyond the Courts: Accommodation and Transportation: 

Ensuring the players’ comfort, accommodation, and an air-conditioned bus were provided, marking Sittruli’s commitment to creating an environment where athletes could focus solely on their game. 

The Slight Delay and Team Amalgamation: 

A slight delay pushed the 7 am match to a 7:30 am start. To boost team strength, Goa borrowed players from Karnataka, and Delhi borrowed Tamil Nadu’s talented girls. 

Adaptations to the Format: 

Originally planned for the 12th and 13th of January, logistical challenges led to a modification in the schedule. The T-30 format was adopted, introducing unique game dynamics. 

Mr. Gunasekaran Steps in as Coach: 

Facing the absence of coaches for the Goan team, Mr. Gunasekaran assumed the role of coach, teaching basic push-and-pull techniques, defensive and offensive actions to players unfamiliar with the nuances of the game. 

The Inauguration and an Afghan Touch: 

The inauguration, scheduled for noon, marked the formal commencement of the fest. Notably, an Afghan citizen studying in Goa became an integral part of the Goan Men’s team. 

Matches Unfold: 

As the clock ticked towards 4 pm, the teams competed passionately. The third match featured Goan determination against Pondicherry, setting the stage for the climactic final match. 

Ministers and MLAs Witness the Finale: 

The final match, graced by the presence of ministers and MLAs, showcased the pinnacle of wheelchair basketball skill. A 30-minute match captivated the audience, concluding with a valedictory ceremony to honor the participants. 

Generous Compensation: 

Recognizing the dedication and skill displayed, compensation was awarded to the deserving teams—15,000, 10,000, 7,000, and 5,000 rupees for the first four places respectively. 

School Kids Join the Festivities: 

School kids brought an infectious energy, joining the practice sessions before their school hours. Witnessing the games, students from neighboring schools flocked to the venue, soaking in the excitement. 

Inclusive Engagement: 

An inspiring moment unfolded around noon when school kids were invited to experience shooting baskets, both standing and sitting in wheelchairs. Autographs from players added a memorable touch to their engagement.

As the sun set on the fest, it marked not just the end of a day but the beginning of a legacy—one of inclusion, empowerment, and shared triumphs, all under the auspices of Sittruli, the beacon of inclusive sports.

Feel the Ball

In the world of wheelchair basketball, there exists a profound connection between the player and the ball, a tactile symphony that transcends the court’s boundaries. As the players at Sittruli’s Training Camp experienced the thrill of their new sports wheelchairs, a deeper narrative unfolded — the art of “Feeling the Ball.”The basketball, a simple sphere of leather and air, becomes an extension of the player’s spirit, a conduit through which dreams are woven into the fabric of the game. In the midst of the players’ excitement, there lies an unspoken understanding of the ball’s significance — it’s not just an object to be thrown or dribbled, but a partner in the journey of every game.

As the players whizzed across the court, the palpable joy emanated from their connection with the ball. They felt its texture, sensed its movement, and responded to its nuances with an intuitive grace. In this dance between player and ball, there is an unspoken language that only those immersed in the game can truly comprehend.”Feeling the Ball” goes beyond the physical act of handling it; it’s about understanding its rhythm, predicting its trajectory, and responding with precision. It’s a dance that requires not just skill but an acute awareness of the game’s flow, an ability to anticipate the ball’s every bounce and spin.This connection is the heartbeat of wheelchair basketball — an echo of determination, resilience, and sheer love for the game. As the players immerse themselves in this symphony of movement and touch, they embody the essence of true sportsmanship, where the ball becomes a conduit for unity, empowerment, and the shared spirit of the game.

In the silence of the court, where the only sounds are the rhythmic echoes of wheelchairs and the occasional bounce of the ball, the players at Sittruli’s Training Camp are not just athletes; they are artists, painting their stories on the canvas of the court, one touch of the ball at a time. The message is clear: to truly play wheelchair basketball is to “Feel the Ball” and, in doing so, feel the pulse of the game’s soul.
