Kingston Junior Table Tennis Initiative
Are you interested in table tennis? Learn to play table tennis in a school club.
The Kingston Junior Table Tennis Initiative is a scheme run in partnership with Kingston Sports and Recreation Services. It aims to give all children the opportunity to play table tennis, with those showing talent being offered extra training at local table tennis clubs.
Participating schools are provided with first class equipment and coaches with the opportunity for teachers to also train as coaches. So far it has been a great success and it is by no coincidence that Kingston have won gold medals in the past few years in boys and girls events at the London Youth Games.
A Table Tennis Tournament is arranged annually and is held during the Kingston Festival of Sport in May. There are singles competitions for boys and girls and team competitions for schools for ages ranging from under 11’s to under 19’s.
How can your school get involved?
If you go to a school in Kingston and your school isn't involved in the scheme yet, tell your P.E. teacher about it and get them to call Kingston Sports and Recreation Services on 020 8547 5207.
