TT Kidz has been unveiled as the name for our new youth product launching next year – and clubs have the chance to find out all about it by joining a special webinar next month.
The name and logo were selected following lengthy consultation with young people, parents, schools and our members.
Out of a choice of six names and logos, more than 75% of hundreds of seven-to-11-year-olds and more than 50% of adults preferred TT Kidz.
We are now consulting with teachers and coaches to put together a series of sessions designed to enthuse young players.
The programme will be launched at the National Conference on the weekend of March 30-31, 2019. Pilot projects will test the sessions from April 2019 onwards and we will be inviting clubs across the country to begin to deliver TT Kidz from September 2019.
But before then, you can hear more about the plans and how your club can get involved by signing up to join our webinar between 7.30pm and 9pm on Monday December 10.
During the webinar – an online seminar – you will be able to see and hear about the plans, as well as post questions or comments, which we will be able to answer during the session.
To sign up, please fill in your details at the bottom of the page and we will send you the details of how to join the webinar a few days before.
TT Kidz is our initiative to increase table tennis participation among the 7-11 age range. The central aims are:
- To provide young people with an inspiring, engaging and fun first experience in the sport
- To enable us to build national partnerships with organisations that can help take the sport to more young people
- To provide clubs and coaches with a more attractive programme to take into schools and community groups to enhance a table tennis offer
- To engage new young coaches/activators in the sport
