Bahrain Olympic Committee (BOC) secretary general Faris Al Kooheji has visited the country's young table tennis players to watch them in training.

Al Kooheji learnt about plans and technical programmes and also got involved in training sessions to encourage them.

Players are now in line to travel to training camps to try and develop them and unlock their potential.

They have already benefited from the BOC's Heroes Industry Programme, launched under the guidance of BOC President Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
