Dominik Kočik is one of Slovakia’s leading young talents and tested his skills on the JDC Advanced Tour in 2023.

Born in Preslov, in east Slovakia, Kočik has won national youth titles in his home country in both steel tip and soft tip.

In 2022, he won the boys’ under-14s title at the Dutch Open, beating Koen Schreuders in a last-leg decider in the final.

The following year Kočik started playing on the JDC Advanced Tour and reached the quarter-finals in his first event.
