We had a spectacular day (Saturday 16^th May) at the MTTC celebrating the recent 100 anniversary of the Table Tennis World Cup held in London earlier this month.  We had 32 teams representing the top 32 countries in the world from clubs all over Kent. Sweden won the Division 1 competition with Argentina winning Division 2. Nigeria was unanimously voted as best dress team and the fair play award went to India & Singapore. Well done to all players and parents involved.

 

Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

We hope you are looking forward to the MTTC World Team TT Club Tournament as much as we are!

• Saturday 16th May 9am – 5.30pm and players will be required to get involved in umpiring and playing as a team.  We welcome sports volunteers and parents help with umpiring and ensuring players get on with matches.   We will have some Maidstone TT club sports volunteers to help with umpiring and helping making sure that the event runs smoothly.
• Bring plenty to drink, snacks and a packed lunch as there is no food to buy on site.
• Parents or club coaches are responsible for their young players, unless parents have made special arrangements with other parents/coaches to supervise their child (leaving medical details and emergency telephone contacts)
• We hope to create a lovely ‘country’ friendly atmosphere and possible opening ceremony.
• We expect excellent player behaviour both off and on the T.T. table and there will be prizes for Fair Play/Respect, as well as prizes for Div. Wnrs and RUp.
• Some of you have already paid entry fees already via BAC’s and some are planning on paying: £20 per player/£40 per team cash on the day of the actual tournament.  The BAC’s details are as follows, to pay your £20 entry fee is:
  • • • BACS payment (state ref: Worlds and add player surname) for Maidstone Table Tennis Club sort code: 23-05-80 account no: 55008159

 

Reminders:

• We actively would like teams of 2 players allocated a country, to create a flag/country sign and wear their countries colours, if at all possible (please do not spend lots of money, be creative and recycle things to adapt).  So please liaise and discuss with your playing partner and parents about how you would like to represent your country. An email would have been sent out to you as you have signed up for the tournament and paid. We hope players learn something about their country!
• We will devise a schedule of 2 divisions/leagues and each country will play  4 random  inter-country matches throughout the day and all matches will be played in good sporting spirits and we actively encourage positive teamwork working together and showing respect for players, opponents, umpires and organisers.
• If any players are off sick/cannot attend for any reason please let me know as soon as possible.  We hope your players have a unique and memorable Table Tennis experience.
