USA Table Tennis is very pleased to announce that Stefan Feth has been selected as the Men’s National Team Coach. Dan Seemiller tendered his resignation as MNTC earlier this year following a ten year service record in that capacity.

USATT CEO Mike Cavanaugh appointed a search committee shortly after the position became vacant. The search committee conducted an exhaustive process to fill this position. Each candidate was interviewed and submitted written answers to a list of questions provided them by the search committee. This was followed by teleconference consultations within the search committee and finally Mr. Feth was selected. After careful consideration, Mr. Cavanaugh accepted the committee’s recommendation and announced the decision to the Board of Directors during their teleconference of October 28. The search committee consisted of Doru Gheorghe, Bob Fox, Richard McAfee, Ashu Jain, Han Xiao, Whitney Ping, and Ross Brown.

Please join us in thanking Danny (Dan Seemiller) for his many years of service and congratulating Stefan on his acceptance of his new challenge.

I have seen Feth coached a lot of players in tournaments but I didn't realize that he wants to be in coaching and that he qualifies (don't you need to take exams to qualify? ).

[729 fx]

Yes, one need to sit for coaching examinations from the respective countries TTA to be qualified with certification as a table tennis coach. In my country, apart from the coaching certificates, one need also to qualify in Sports Science (Level I) conducted by the National Sports Council.

Isn't Feth stationed in California?

Yes, that's why I said I have seen him.
