Annual Christmas Presentation Lunch 2025

The Christmas lunch presentation, organized by the TopSpin Admin Team, was one to remember. This event was held to showcase the talent of the Topspin athletes and to recognize their appreciation and dedication to the sport through the presentation of trophies and awards.

The presentation started by acknowledging all the events that took place throughout the year of 2025, which was considered one of the most packed and successful years. This was showcased through a short three-minute video prepared by the Juniors Admin Team subcommittee that highlighted key moments, achievements, and memorable experiences that these opportunities provided to the athletes.

After this speech, the trophies and awards were presented to the athletes as follows:
