NCTTA TOP 25 LIST

College Football does a weekly Top 25 ranking and so do other major Collegiate sports. We here at NCTTA decided to take a stab at it as well. These team ratings are based on your rosters that you submitted and using our NCTTA Team Ratings equations.

Note these Top 25 rankings have no bearing on any post season invitations, they are purely informational. Schools feel free to use this for your respective University Recreation and Sport Councils to try and leverage more funding, more space, more everything!

NCTTA and AYTTO Partner Up for the George Braithwaite Scholarship

Two years ago Wednesday (October 26, 2020), a beloved legend in the US table tennis passed away. In honor of his immense contribution to the table tennis community and world peace, NCTTA and AYTTO teamed together to honor him with the Annual George Braithwaite Community Service Award for those high school seniors demonstrating a consistent and positive contribution to the AYTTO community.

It is now time to submit your nomination for the candidates. Please email your nomination to president@nctta.org, or admin@aytto.org. The selection committee will announce two winners this year on April 15, 2023, the birthday of the legend who many people know as “The Chief”.

Smiling faces in the name of NCTTA!

They came, they saw, and they partied in honor of NCTTA and in honor of College Table Tennis past, present and future!

NCTTA held its last ALUMNI Pong Party of the season at SPIN NYC. Almost 100 people came to hang out, eat, and reminisce about their NCTTA glory days. Combine that with current players from the Northeast and you have one hell of a pong party!

NCTTA has been reaching out to Alumni since the pandemic to get people playing again. Although it may not be the same passion and intensity of College Table Tennis past, it is the same community, the same camaraderie present.

NCTTA has one more month left in our National Fundraiser 1 to 1 match. At the SPIN NYC gathering, 1000 dollars was raised!

If you liked these SPIN PONG Parties, we are looking for an ALUMNI Director, please email info@nctta.org for more info! More to come in the future!
