Step into Leadership

Leadership can be very rewarding for young people providing a route into Coaching or just to give something back to your club or sport. Leadership experience can also be valuable when applying for jobs as you will be able to demonstrate on experience in responsibility, something future employers could well find attractive!

Leadership within your club can take on many roles, all of which are important. From running the Competition Ladder  to looking after refreshment, producing a newsletter to helping with coaching  or organising a social get together, all can

provide a rewarding experience.

The ETTA organise a number of Leadership Awards for young people including the Table Tennis Networkers Award, Young Official Award and Junior Umpires Award. Something for everyone!   Taking these awards could be your first step into taking a qualification in Coaching or becoming one of the ETTA’s growing band of Umpires. You could take an award in Tournament Organising or perhaps become a Table Tennis Development Official through the ETTA Development Award.   During the coming year the academy will be focusing on developing young leaders and coaches to take on roles within the club and community. The academy’s main aim is to develop a network of leaders and coaches to work within its growing Premier School Development Programme. This could lead to some paid work for the right person!
