In 2009, the HTTA will announce the timing and format for the next Division 5 U-14 competition. The competition will suit current and new players, with orientation and coaching designed to get new players up to speed quickly. Accomplished local coach Sigi Stoeger will oversee play, where young players are introduced to the basic skills of table tennis, rules, scoring, and umpiring. Players will compete in teams of three, honing their spins, smashes, competitive spirits and sports participation. The HTTA will award the Division 5 shield to the winning team, and it is likely that a junior tournament will be run to allow individual players to shine. The competition is structured to be school friendly, with play finishing at 8.30pm and breaks during school holidays. Contact your local club, or HTTA committee member Ross Coleman, or coach Sigi for further details and to nominate a team or player (see 'Contact Us'). Or, register here to be emailed competition updates as they become available.
