About AMDT

           AMDT (Amanda's Training Center for Table Tennis) was founded in 2004, by Amanda Ho. Amanda began her career in table tennis at the age of six at a table tennis academy in ZhongShan, China.  As a young adult she went on to play professionally for first, the Canton Team and later, the Hong Kong Team.  Upon emigrating to the U.S she brought her passion as well as her playing and coaching experience into building AMDT, a community for all levels of table tennis players.  Whether you are a seasoned athlete or just play casually AMDT has something for you.
