NCTTA has its own "poet laureate", NCTTA Alum from Hofstra and Florida State University (Michael "Mike" Reff).

For all in Table Tennis struggling with not being able to play/train/compete because of COVID...this is for you!

We know you're hurting
You all are yearning
To play our favorite sport again,
And though you're ready,
Fall semester's not steady,
Unfortunately, till Spring we wait then.
So what are you doing?
Spare time is accruing,
And though it is hard to get in those ponging hours.
Through practice and fitness,
Recruiting hype vids, we'll beat this,
Make lemonade from those lemons so sour.
