About Us

Table Tennis Northland is a regional sports association whose purpose is providing and promoting table tennis across Northland. Based in Whangarei, we run different types of programmes and clubs for all ages and levels.

We support and encourage growth to those players who want to keep on moving forward into the competitive pathway. We also provide programmes for those players that are looking for a more casual or social event.

We are very proud of our journey we have been building for the last 75 years and are looking forward to many more years of growth, improvements, and achievements. Table Tennis Northland welcomes everyone to be a part of this community, embracing the respect towards players, officials and this sport that has been home for so many.
