Ping.Pong.Play. - Coach's Update

Table Tennis Australia – Ping.Pong.Play.

Hello Clubs and Coaches,

We know how much you care about inspiring young people and giving them opportunities to discover table tennis. That’s exactly why Ping.Pong.Play was created, to help schools and clubs work together to make our sport more visible, more accessible, and more fun.

To give us the best chance of reaching schools right across the country, TTA has invested in a national schools database that covers Catholic, private, and public schools (primary and secondary). This means we can now share the refreshed program including the new secondary schools module with the right people, in the right places, more effectively than ever before. 

What schools have received via the campaign:

• A targeted campaign introducing Ping.Pong.Play to primary, secondary, and special education schools across Australia.
• Information about the rebrand, the refreshed resources, and how the program can benefit every student.

How we're supporting you:

We want you to feel confident and supported when approaching schools in your area. To help, we’ve attached:

• A Coach’s Guide with tips for face-to-face introductions and an email template you can adapt.
• Information about Sporting Schools funding and how schools can access it.
• An editable flyer where you can add your club/coach details.
• Fun teaser examples of Ping.Pong.Play activities to show schools just how inclusive and engaging the program is. 

Extra support TTA is offering:

• Marketing toolkit: Clubs running Ping.Pong.Play will have full access to posters, social media assets, and more in eTrainu.
• Direct support: The TTA Participation Team is always available at pingpongplay@tabletennis.org.au if you’d like advice or help.
• New trial service: TTA will forward your Ping.Pong.Play marketing material directly to selected schools in your area to support your outreach.

We believe these tools will make it easier than ever for schools to say “yes” to Ping.Pong.Play and for more kids to find their way into table tennis.

At the heart of this program is a simple goal: helping schools, clubs, and coaches work hand-in-hand to give more young people the chance to fall in love with our sport. We’re committed to making sure you feel equipped, supported, and confident in building those connections.

Together, we can create stronger pathways from schools into clubs and grow the table tennis community for years to come.

Thank you for everything you do for the sport and for young people.

Cheers,

Ping.Pong.Play. Team
