TT Kidz, our programme to give 7-to-11-year-olds a fun and inspiring introduction to table tennis, is ready for lift-off!

The initiative has had a makeover to make it more flexible for clubs to deliver and take kids on a pathway from beginner until they ‘graduate’ into the sport full-time.

PremierClubs will receive free access to the programme and can sign up to one of two webinars next month to find out more about the revamped programme, with a view to starting to deliver TT Kidz in their community.

Lauren Evans, who leads on TT Kidz for Table Tennis England, said: “The emphasis is on making TT Kidz as flexible as possible for participants and creating a pathway where every child can have fun and progress at their own pace.

“It means children can come from any background and have any level of ability and still be sure to enjoy a modern, fun programme.

“Clubs also have the flexibility to choose how to fit TT Kidz into their existing programmes. Coaches and clubs are the experts – we are offering resources to support them without constraining them.”

How to get involved

TT Kidz will initially be delivered by PremierClubs, with the programme to be expanded into schools and community organisations at a later date.

Clubs can sign up to one of two webinars for more information about how to deliver the programme:

The webinars will take place on Tuesday 10 November from 6-7pm and Wednesday 11 November from 12-1pm.

As well as a range of other club benefits, PremierClub status includes access for one named individual to the online TT Kidz resources, activities and training materials, helping you deliver the programme with confidence.
