Your membership benefits not only you as an individual table tennis player, but helps support the sport by contributing to its development at all levels in England. The majority of affiliation fees are reinvested in Table Tennis England events for players; the provision of insurance cover, child protection, coach development, and support and development for table tennis at all levels from grassroots juniors, cadets and seniors through to international matches.

It depends what sort of environment you play table tennis in. If you play competitively in national or local tournaments and leagues, you will need either a Compete or Compete Plus Membership. Compete Plus is for those who wish to compete in the British League or any national tournament rated 2* or above. Compete Membership is for those who compete in local leagues, County Championships or 1* national tournaments. If you only play in closed tournaments at your club, or socially, then it’s the free-of-charge Club Play option and, if you volunteer, officiate or are simply a Fan then it’s our Supporter Membership, also free-of-charge

The Table Tennis England Help Centre is designed to guide you through the process of creating a new membership or managing your existing profile and will help troubleshoot any questions you may have.

If you wish to enter an affiliated league or tournament you will be required to supply your unique TT ID (membership number) and so without this you will not be able to enter.

Yes, you can manage your membership by visiting your profile and upgrading the membership, paying the difference which will enable you to play in the next level of competition for the remainder of the season.
