Kids

We welcome children and young people of different ages and abilities, from complete beginners to juniors who already play. Players are grouped by age and ability where appropriate. We take kids from 6 years old.

Sessions combine coached drills, basic technique, footwork and coordination exercises, fun games and matchplay. The emphasis is on learning while keeping things enjoyable and active — activities are adapted for different ages and abilities.

Parents/guardians are welcome to stay and watch. For younger children, we recommend a parent remains available. Drop-off arrangements should be agreed with the coach/club beforehand.

Every booking for a child is made by a parent or guardian, with a consent tick-box completed as part of the booking.

The safety and wellbeing of our young players is very important to us. All CCTTC teaching staff working with children hold a valid Table Tennis England Enhanced DBS check and are appropriately licensed through Table Tennis England.

Our coaching staff follow Table Tennis England's safeguarding requirements and codes of conduct, helping us provide a safe, positive and welcoming environment for children to learn and enjoy table tennis.
