Table Tennis Information

General information

Table Tennis is a growing sport on the North Shore.  North Harbour Table Tennis hold a league for intermediate age students which is played weekly in Terms 2, 3, and 4. Students are invited to register the the individual term. This makes it suitable to fit around other other codes and interests. 

Teams are made up of 3-4 players, with 3 playing on a roster system. The fourth player is advised to attend as other teams may need a reserve.

Trials

We do not hold trials for the after school NX Table Tennis teams.  Students are all placed in teams unless they have requested to be with nominated students.  

Teams who 'place' in their league will stay together for the next term league, as close as possible dependent on who registers.

North Harbour zone day teams may be selected based on the league matches.

Training

Please note – There is no official trainings for the teams.  Please see the daily notices for any possible sessions.

Selection process

We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:

  • New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
  • Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.

We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.

As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.

Coaches, managers & umpires

Table Tennis does not require a coach or manager.  

For future reference all coaches and managers are required to be police vetted by Northcross. If you are keen to take on one of these roles and have not yet been police vetted by our school, please email the Sport Department and we will send you through the relevant forms to fill out.
