Please Follow Anaya on Twitter

My name is Anaya Patel and I am 11 years old.  I started to play Table Tennis about 18 months ago as a hobby but in early 2015 I started to play competitively and was ranked 92 in England.   I am now ranked No 5 in England U12 and 11 at U13s.

I am seeking a sponsorship deal in pursuit of excellence in my sport and would be grateful if you can follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnayaPatel

I currently train 12-14 hours per week at Kingfisher Table Tennis Club. My coach is Peter Charters, who was on the England Selection Committee for the Olympics. I am also training with Tom Maynard who is  ranked No. 12 in the Senior Men’s in England.  My club has produced many excellent players who have gone on to represent England including Mathew Sayed (Also Author of Bounce). 

I travel all over England and play in competitions twice a month and hope to play abroad next year. It’s fair to assume Table Tennis is my life. “Sorry Mum, I meant to say Studying is my life J”

Recently, I was nominated for Basingstoke Junior Sportswoman of the Year and have now been selected as a finalist. I will be attending the Sports Ceremony on Friday March 4^th.

Last Month I was invited to play in Bristol by Table Tennis England in the Under 12 National Cup, which is where the top 10 under 12 girls play each other to win the cup. This was a prestigious event, as the England Selection Team were observing players.  The competition was held over 2 days and was very challenging, both physically and mentally.  I had 2 great wins and had 3 very close games which I lost in the 5^th set!! I finished 6^th overall. This was a great achievement as I was playing with the top girls in England, most of whom have been playing for at least 3 years.

My Performances/achievements for the last 18 months are:

·         Ranked No. 1 In Berkshire in both Under 13 and 15 age group

·         Ranked No. 5 In England in Under 12’s

·         Ranked No. 11 in England in under 13’s

·         Ranked No. 50 in England in Under 15’s

·         Represent Berkshire County Under 18’s in National Junior League (hopefully get promoted on March 12!!)
