Ayrshire Table Tennis Association Leagues

We are ready to accept entries for our respective Senior & Junior Leagues. Each form is self explanatory however the Committee would like to highlight some important areas.

We will all be playing under the Ayrshire Table Tennis Association (ATTA)banner. Those playing in our own Leagues will have the possibility of being selected to represent Ayrshire at Table Tennis Scotland’s Inter League.

To demonstrate to Table Tennis Scotland (TTS) that Table Tennis is alive and growing in Ayrshire, it is important that all player registration/affiliation to TTS is done through the ATTA.

Those who also play in the WoSTTL will not be paying double affiliation fees to TTS. As an Example: A senior player who plays on the ATTA League & the WoSTTL will Pay £25.00 to ATTA (£20 TTs plus £5 ATTA) and £15.00 to WoSTTL. Playing in both leagues for only £5.00 more than they paid for playing in the WoSTTL only last season.

We ask that you all as Committee Members, Clubs, Players and general Table Tennis enthusiast's make a commitment to Ayrshire Table Tennis Association so we can grow over coming seasons to have vibrant active competition with high participation that we can all be proud of.

Closing date for entries is Friday 1 October.
