A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever."
Mary Lou Retton
The TRIAD of Table Tennis
PLAYERS
This sport wouldn't be what it is were it not for someone to play it - the PLAYERS. Players are the ambassadors for the sport. They are the engine that drives it. Through the players the game takes on its persona, charisma, flare & style. It takes on a life of its own and the players are the ones who give it that life.
Imagine this game without players...Well, maybe not!
COACHES
Coaches are the navigational systems that guides players. For example, from aircraft pre-flight to takeoff, to in-flight operations to landing again. Coaches are essential to the task of developing players. They are critical to the Triad to help players reach their maximum potential. Everyone knows the value of having a coach with keen understanding of the game, the ability to recognize player potential and how to unlock that potential. Regardless if you're a beginner or a seasoned veteran, Coaches help shape the stars and future stars of our sport!
OFFICIALS
- GUARDIANS OF THE GAME -
Officials help preserve the integrity of the sport. Like anything else in life, you need caretakers who will help protect your most precious assets. It's a dirty job sometimes but someone's got to do it right? Officials help to ensure that the game is preserved and played in the manner in which is was intended. They're the ones who ensure it is played with integrity and fairness for all and provide direction whenever a difficult situation arises as it relates to the rules of our sport.
Officials...true protectors of table tennis!
