On Sunday 12 June, 19 teams competed for the title of “family champion 2022”.
The teams were formed by parents and children from 1 family
where at least one of the two players had to be a member of TTV Amstelveen.
It is worth mentioning that there were teams from as many as eight different nationalities participating, which emphasises the cultural diversity of the club.
In the preliminaries 5 groups of doubles were played after which the results of the groups determined in which group the players were placed for the final rounds.
In this final round the players played as a team in a group of 4 teams.
In each match, first the parents played against each other,
then the children and each match ended with a doubles match.
In a breathtaking final, the originally Greek couple Aris and Elias Negrin played against the Kumar family team with American roots.
The decision in this match fell in the battle between Elias Negrin and Harish Kumar, which was surprisingly won by Elias.
After two more exciting matches, the final match was eventually won 2-1 by the Negrin family.
After 5 hours of hard work, enjoyment and a lot of table tennis fun, the prizes were handed out by organiser Guus Korper who, with the help of volunteers, trainers, parents and players, managed to make this tournament a great success.
