Table tennis MYG

Table tennis on the Isle of Man

We have a healthy growth each year of teams in our Senior League and a large number of those consist of juniors who started playing in the Manx Youth Games. We run a Junior League each September to December before feeding players into regional clubs with the opportunity to play in the Senior League.

Those who wish to play in our Senior League are encouraged to play as a ‘Development Team’ allowing us to rotate players each week giving them exposure playing against better players – we even give the team a dedicated coach to look after them during their league games.

We coach Island squads where these juniors receive additional coaching each week as well as a number of coaching weekends that are run by off Island coaches we use. We also play as a nation in International Tournaments against the likes of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Guernsey and Jersey where most of the Isle of Man players are juniors who have come through the Manx Youth Games. For those simply wishing to ‘have a go’ there are drop in sessions on Mondays at Ballakermeen, Tuesdays at the Buchan School and at the NSC each Wednesday following the MYG day itself – see our Facebook page for details. We are always looking to attract more junior teams to the sport and if your school would like some help with this simply contact one of the people listed below.

Sporting Club Manx Youth Games can be just the start you need to make table tennis your sport – come and give us a try – we’re sure you’ll love it.
