Under-13 and Under-18 players with elite potential can apply for a place on a residential training camp led by Table Tennis England performance coaches.
There is a maximum of 20 places on each camp at Grantham College and Table Tennis England will select the successful players from the applications received.
Players intending to apply for the England Youth Squad (EYS) 2016/17 can have their assessment during this camp.
Players will be responsible for funding their own accommodation and food costs, but Table Tennis England will provide the coaches and sparrers for the programme. Additional sparrers and other coaches will be confirmed shortly.
