I had the pleasure of being part of the Jack Petchey Foundation Schools Table Tennis Individual Finals held on May 10, 2025, at the University of East London’s SportsDock. The event brought together over 100 young athletes from across London and Essex, showcasing the vibrant future of our sport.

The finals were a culmination of qualifiers across London and Essex earlier in the year, where well over 500 young people entered. On the day, eight new champions were crowned across various age categories.

For a closer look at the day’s highlights, you can watch the event recap here:

Let’s continue to support and celebrate our young athletes as they drive the future of table tennis forward.

A massive thank you for everyone who has been involved in the qualifiers and finals. Without each and every person, none of this would happen!
