Table Tennis Leaders Awards

 

 

The “TT Networker - Table Tennis Leadership Award” was officially launched at the ETTA Coaches Conference held at Lilleshall in September 2006.

The award, aimed at 15-18 year olds, gives candidates an opportunity to experience and learn about the variety of volunteering opportunities in Table Tennis clubs, leagues and schools.

The main aims of the six hour course are to enable the leaders to organise safe, enjoyable and purposeful activities aimed primarily at young people, and to provide a lead into Table Tennis coaching, organising competitions, umpiring and development of the sport.

As part of the course, young leaders plan and deliver the new Butterfly Skills Circuit, which is an integral part of the Butterfly Skills Programme to be launched in 2007.

Coaches at the conference were all given the opportunity to try out the cards and see for themselves the resources for the course.

Pilot courses have been delivered in a number of Sports Colleges and Table Tennis Clubs. New tutors are currently being trained to help roll out the programme nationwide
