Philippines soft tennis team had their two-week training under the supervision of Korean coach.
The half-month training is in preparation of the players for the upcoming SEA Games 2019 in their home turf.
The training centered more on adjustments and techniques of the sport especially the strokes.
The Filipino soft tennis players were joined by Korean soft tennis athletes from Busan to further coped with the new techniques.
Aside from the two-week training, local and international exposures are planned for the Filipino soft netters as they bid to medal in the biennial meet.
Meanwhile, their Korean coach will stay with the team for about four months according to a report.
Soft tennis was first featured as medal sport at the 2011 SEA Games in Palembang, Indonesia and Indonesia swept all the seven gold medals at that time.
This year, it will be back again for the second time at the 30th Southeast Asian Games and this is very challenging for the part of the host to stop the Indonesian domination plus its Thai counterparts.
