September is the start of many things in college table tennis. It is the beginning of Fall, a new season with respite from extreme heat. This also marks the start of another school year where new and old players alike come to practice again in their respective facilities. This is the essence of NCTTA: the promotion of collegiate table tennis across the continent.

Consequently, for this promotion to work, NCTTA relies on external stakeholders to generously contribute time and resources. Thus, September also ushers in an important partnership with major table tennis supplier JOOLA.

JOOLA’s marketing specialist Matt Hetherington conveyed the popular table tennis brand’s enthusiasm regarding their blossoming collaboration with NCTTA:

“JOOLA are thrilled to be partnering with NCTTA as both organizations continue to work promoting the sport in the USA. We feel many common lines between both our teams - goals, passions and work ethic. We are proud to do our part to contribute to the growth of college table tennis and look forward to a long and sustainable team effort with NCTTA into the future.”

With this partnership, NCTTA member schools will get a discount off equipment (excluding tables) on joolausa.com. More information on this to come later!

Additionally JOOLA will supply their very own JOOLA prime ball for our Divisionals, Regionals, and Champs events.

NCTTA President Willy is ecstatic. “I am very pleased that this agreement was successfully signed between our two organizations; college table tennis is better off for it!”

New season, new players, new partners. Kudos to Team JOOLA and Team NCTTA for making this happen!
