All sessions are run by Table Tennis England qualified coaches who are CBT approved and have first aid training.
Most sessions are limited to 18 participants so please try to arrive early to avoid disappointment. It’s first come, first served. Bats and balls are provided if required. See calendar for any session limitations.
During school half terms and holidays these sessions do not run as there are training camps running instead. Anyone is welcome to these sessions.
Note: We occasionally hold other events or there are public holidays that mean a coaching session has to be cancelled so please check the calendar on this site to avoid a wasted journey
Alternative days are for invitation only, if your child is good enough to join (seen in sessions that are open to any ability) they will be asked to move to other days. These are marked on the calendar for those that are part of squad sessions.
