Table Tennis

Table tennis is one of the leading sports at our University. About 450 students are included in the groups of table tennis. Each year, in addition to trainings, competitions are held among the Departments of SEUA, and, as a result, a selection for the representative team, which, in the last years has been successfully participating in the high-school championships of Armenia taking the prize-winning places, is made.

We would like to mention the successful participation of the students. Due to their efforts the table tennis team of SEUA periodically took the prize-winning places losing only to the Team of the Institute of Physical Training. Over the last years, such sportsmen as Grigor Aivazyan, a Master of sports, who took the second place in the International Championship in Czechoslovakia, have been the members of the team.

At different times, Arsen Manoukyan, a student of the Mechanics Department, Vardan Karapetyan – the Transportation Department, Anna Sargsyan – the Computer Engineering Department and others, were involved in the SEUA team. At present, the following students are involved in the team of our University: Master of Sports Arpineh Haroutyunyan – the Department of Computer Engineering, Candidate of a Master of Sports Ruzanna Khachatryan – the Chemical Department, Candidate of a Master of Sports Tatevik Khachatryan – the Department of Electrical Engineering, and Tigran Markaryan, first category – the Transportation Department.

The first coach of table tennis at the University was the Master of Sports Petros Hamloyan, came after him Masters of Sports Alisa Vardanyan and Ashot Hovhannisyan. Now, the Representative Team of the University is trained by Master of Sports Levon Tovmasyan whose assistants are Tamara Chobanyan and Ruben Chaldranyan.
