There are lots of sites that are of interest to sports people and in particular table tennis people. Many can be found by inserting the magic words "table tennis" into your favourite search engine.

Some essential sites are those relating to Northumberland Table Tennis (NTT), the English Table Tennis Association (ETTA) and the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

Where can you purchase equipment? CTTC uses Tees Sport, a local company and one that has played a major part in assisting table tennis in this region and nationally over a period of many years.

How can you raise funds? If you are a properly constituted club there are various grant making charitable trusts and National Lottery based schemes (such as Awards for All). Your local authority sports development officer or your local CVS (Council for Voluntary Services) may be able to give you some advice.

Are there any sites that you find particularly helpful for table tennis players? Why not share them with us? Email us at CTTC.
