New signal
For 2 years, the efforts of the Khanh Hoa sports department in general and the provincial Sports Technique Training Center in specific has been remarkable. In 2012, Khanh Hoa table tennis started to thrive with the return of Doan Kien Quoc as the coach of Khanh Hoa table tennis team and the trainer for young players. His return not only improved the rank of Khanh Hoa table tennis but also encouraged the young athletes to pursue their goal.
Receiving the investment from the provincial sports department, the youth players have had many opportunities to raise the professional quality through long-time training courses in some strong table tennis centers and clubs nationwide like Hanoi and T&T club.
In the previous years, the Khanh Hoa young table tennis team only took park in one young tournament for teenagers and children within the national competition system. This year, in favour of the Vietnam Table Tennis Federation and the Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the provincial table tennis team could participate the national excellent young table tennis players tournament for teenager and children (early September) right in the home ground.
According to Mr. Nguyen Minh Dat, Deputy Director of Khanh Hoa Provincial Center of Sports Technique Training, in terms of specialty, the young force of Khanh Hoa table tennis has been still less and weaker than the common grounds. However, the determination of the coaching board, athletes as well as the interest of the community will be an important encouragement for Khanh Hoa table tennis to develop in the future.

Requirement for long-term plan
Reportedly, for 5 years, Khanh Hoa table tennis has just been at the average level. Therefore, focusing on the young players, especially the teenagers and children is essential.
However, the most difficult problems now are the lack of young force, the unevenness in the professional skill among adjacent ages and the study of athletes.
Consequently, an effective long-term plan is required in order to strengthen Khanh Hoa table tennis. For example, in the short term, Khanh Hoa table tennis will focus on supplementing the force (through borrowing or buying athletes from strong clubs), preparing for the National Sports Festival 2014. Besides, it is necessary to invest in raising the professional quality of the young players through competitions.
