Didi's birthday

Jiji Nobuya offered a racket
to Amané several years ago.
Because she's taking it to school every day since,
it's quite destroyed...
But Amané wants to keep it
and play with it at Junior High...

So Didi tried to restore it !


Thank you Didi.



We were late to celebrate Didi's birthday
but we did it !

their coachs and friends.
Nice club, like a family.

Critérium régional 2

ready for a big day tournament !!
Regional !!



There are 2 from the club who will play


Training


Coaching by Patricia (volunteer)
and Lola (student from ping-pong class in high school)


Amané finished 2nd.
At night she failed against a girl
she won in morning...

Junior high, piano, homework, ping-pong...



I had to meet all Amané's teachers !
And it was Wonderfull !

She went with me so she could hear all 
the beautiful things teachers said about her:
very clever, very mature, good general culture etc etc...

In primary school there was only one teacher 
who said that...
This time there were 10 to say
only congratulations and compliments !!

Bravo Amané !!!!


Those kinds of encouragements
give more power...
so she's studying more piano !!


and still homework...


And it was Dada's birthday !
She was away in the ocean side with her 3 sisters
so we could just sent picture !


And here is Amané's class:
she still doesn't have new friends
she's keeping Astrid and Jeanne
from her primary school.
She thinks other students are not so interesting... !!!!
With Miss Favreau, maths and head teacher.

Tournament: winners !!!


For all day
we went to a tournament
one hour car from Angoulême.
There were 2 littles players,
2 minimes,
and Lola as a coach (high school girl, option ping-pong). 


Amané played 8 individuals matches (she won 6)
and 4 doubles with Marcu (they won all).



Lola was really professional:
she saw the weaknesses of the others
and explained what to do.




The 2 winners !!!
Little bit disappointed
because there were no medals....!!!!


Good job kids !!!

Heavy schedule for 11 years old girls

In a week there's:
-one hour for piano...
and because she loves what her teacher  is proposing
(La dispute Tiersen, Valse Mozart, Lalaland BO)
she's playing and training a lot every day.



There's also a LOT of homework...
Not only exercices
but lot of lessons to know by heart.
It takes a lot of time
but Amané got really good marks
so it's working.

-monday (2 hours, private lesson with Stephane)
-wednesday (1h30 group lesson, 1h private lesson with Sarah)
