Table Tennis England
Table Tennis England run programmes for both schools and youth clubs, including the highly subsidised table donation scheme, the Jack Petchey Schools’ competitions, a girls programme, a Development Competition for new players and a training course for teachers and youth leaders.
All elements of the programme are open to state secondary schools, colleges, academies and youth clubs in Essex and London that are on the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme. Schools and youth clubs that have received table tennis tables from the table donation scheme previously can apply again, but priority will be given to those that have not received them in recent years. Table Tennis England are especially keen to receive applications for tables from SEN, AP or PRU schools.

When he was younger, Sir Jack got hours of fun out of playing table tennis with his friends and he wanted the opportunity to play to be open to all young people. Therefore JPF and Table Tennis England have been delivering the Jack Petchey Table Tennis Programme since 2010.
Since the programme started, over 2,000 table tennis tables have been donated to schools and clubs, reaching over 100,000 young people. Young people have also taken part in over 180 competitions.
