********President's Report********
College Table Tennis in the
Recently many of you gave support for National Collegiate Table Tennis Association (NCTTA) and for me personally for NCTTA representation on the USA Table Tennis board of directors. I first want to acknowledge my thanks and appreciation for everyone who emailed the USATT board with their comments and support. NCTTA is very blessed to have so many passionate, intelligent, involved members and I for one am proud to be a part of it.
Unfortunately and despite your overwhelming support and emails, the USATT President, Sheri Pittman will not take me on the board of USATT as NCTTA Representative instead opting to have NCTTA board select someone else. I am personally disappointed at not being able to represent you the members of NCTTA, but there is an upside to it all and it is that USATT President has now realized the importance of NCTTA and College Table Tennis and given in to allow NCTTA to have direct representation on the USATT board of directors. I do not regret speaking up for the truth even if it meant my own demise it has allowed for NCTTA to be represented on the board of the USATT.
This would not have happened if you all did not "take to the streets" and show up in unprecedented numbers your support. Thank you to all that emailed the USATT board; it is a good wake up call for upcoming elections that USATT will have that College Students can and will unite for one common cause.
Join the Wave of the Revolution….NCTTA is here to stay and support your College Table Tennis programs!

********College Table Tennis Rankings********

********ACUI Regional Schedule Information********
We here at NCTTA believe in the team approach with College Table Tennis. ACUI is a non for profit educational organization that holds Table Tennis regionals and a national tournament. NCTTA would like to do everything in its power to promote this event. This is an excellent opportunity for those schools not connected with a region to play intercollegiate Table Tennis. Also it is a good opportunity to establish a good relationship with your school's administration. Get involved and volunteer and PLAY.
