Funded through Sport England’s New Movement Fund

The new Bristol Table Tennis Academy opened its doors on the 4th September 24 at SGS College, offering a community coaching programme for juniors and adults in the Filton and surrounding areas of Bristol.

They are aiming to teach and educate the local community, helping both juniors and adults learn and develop their skills in table tennis while keeping active. The club will operate a number of programmes, with sessions initially taking place on Wednesday evenings at SGS College. Additionally, the club are looking to run some “Bat and Chat” sessions around Bristol and will have teams competing in both National and Local competitions to support players in reaching their full potential.

The project is being led by Nick Davidson a level 3 licensed coach with Table Tennis England together with a number of other high-level coaches.

I am thrilled that the Bristol Table Tennis Academy has launched this week. Nick Davidson recently won Table Tennis England’s Pride of Table Tennis Coach of the Year for the South West. He effortlessly engages players of all ages and abilities. Having worked with Nick on coach development and a pop-up project for the Olympics and Paralympics in Bristol, I know he has a keen ability to deliver his ambitious plans. I look forward to working with Nick and his team on developing pathways for players across Bristol and surrounding area.
