A ground-breaking teqball joint training venture involving Polish and Hungarian players has taken place over three days at Hajdúszoboszló in Hungary.

In the first such collaboration since the International Teqball Federation (FITEQ) was established in 2017, eight teqball athletes from five well-known clubs in Poland arrived to train with local players.

The latter included representatives from the Sárréti Teqball Club in Hajdúszoboszló and national junior players from the Infinity Teqball and Bodker TEQ clubs who were also present.

The Hungarian national junior teqball team coaches, Martin Csereklye and Patrik Borbély, were invited by the organisers to lead the training sessions.

The President of the Sárréti Teqball Club, Tamás Tóth, said: "The Polish-Hungarian training camp was created in such a way, that the invited players could also experience and learn about the colourful history and culture of the region.

"In between their exhausting training sessions, we organised several cultural visits to Debrecen and Hajdúszoboszló.

"The last day of the international training camp was celebrated with a mini singles and doubles tournament where doubles partners Martin Csereklye of Hungary and Poland’s Tomasz Pląskowski, who play together internationally, defeated all their opponents.

The singles category was dominated by the young, upcoming talent of Milán Csábi.

The organisers were very happy with the success of the event which has further strengthened Hungarian-Polish relations within the sport.
