TuksTable Tennis Academy

The South African Table Tennis Union (SATTU) was formed in 1939 and the South African Table Tennis Board (SATTB) in 1948.These two organisations amalgamated in 1991, becoming a single controlling body for table tennis in South Africa . Since then table tennis is played in all of the nine provinces of South Africa and the table tennis body continues to strive for:

• effective partnerships with regional affiliates;
• sport recreation in South Africa ;
• provincial departments of sport, recreation & education;
• national lotteries distributing trust funds;
• volunteers and sponsors;
• the inclusion of disability sports disciplines into all programmes like coaching, administration and technical/umpire courses, as well as national championships;
• a national academy programme.

Table tennis is a competitive sport which is also played socially and it therefore provides people of all age groups with the opportunity to make friends.
