The PremierClub Programme
Our aim is to create a national network of clubs that work together to grow participation in table tennis and support existing players to create a community from which future Internationals will emerge.
We encourage Table Tennis Clubs and Centre’s to join the PremierClub programme so that this can be achieved.
In return for joining the programme your club will receive the benefits outlined below and the ongoing support of Table Tennis England’s national and area staff.
Once part of the programme you will be encouraged to work towards Clubmark Accreditation, Sport England’s mark of high quality clubs, with the support of Table Tennis England staff.
Obtaining Clubmark Accreditation is a significant achievement for any sports club and can open doors to various funding opportunities.
Table Tennis England’s Clubmark clubs are designed to give people looking for clubs a good idea of what a club offers in terms of coaching, venue and environment.
