The West Auckland Table Tennis Club Network has launched the Network’s “Table Tennis in the Community” Project.

This project has been set up to provide access to the sport of Table Tennis across multiple community sites across West Auckland.

If your West Auckland Community Centre, Library, or Hub would like to secure a Community Table Tennis Table at your venue, supplied by the The West Auckland Table Tennis Club Network, please email waitakeretabletennis@gmail.com for more information.

Site # 4: Kaurilands Primary School (Titirangi):

The West Auckland Table Tennis Club Network has donated 1 Community Table Tennis Table to the Kaurilands Primary School (Titirangi).

Kaurilands Primary School has nearly 800 students and is delighted to be able to introduce the sport of Table Tennis to their school community’s PE curriculum.

Kaurilands School reports that the rate of sign-up for the Table Tennis Programme has been so high that the School has requested a second table tennis table for the kids to play on, which we are happy to provide 🙂

WAITAKERE TABLE TENNIS ASSOCIATION (WTTA) “TABLE TENNIS TABLES IN SCHOOLS” INITIATIVE

The Waitakere Table Tennis Association (WTTA) is on the lookout for good quality, second-hand table tennis tables and equipment that can be donated to local West Auckland Schools.

Table Tennis is an all-year indoor sport, and has been termed “aerobic chess” in that one has to be fit AND strategic to win games 🙂

Table Tennis can be played by all people of any age and ability, intergenerationally, and at any time of the day or night.

We are looking to identify any local West Auckland Schools that would like to secure a Table Tennis Table for their venue and link them with any one of the dozens of Tables that are no longer required by families in the community. These good-quality tables are mostly sitting in storage, or on Trademe, or on Facebook Marketplace, or now surplus to requirements – let’s see if we can put these tables into the hands of kids who may not have room to play at home, or the money to attend a commercial table tennis venue.

There may be some local schools too that have Table Tennis Tables, but don’t utilize them very often – The Waitakere Table Tennis Association can assist with organizing simple and free in-house competition ladders at school for kids to compete in.

Please email waitakeretabletennis@gmail.com if you can assist.
