ABOUT US

North Carolina Youth Table Tennis Association (NCYTTA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2023 by young and passionate table tennis players who want to share their love of the sport with others. We believe table tennis is a fun and accessible way to promote health/well-being, foster social connection, and create lifelong friendships. NCYTTA strives to leave a lasting impact on the community and help provide opportunities for all aspiring athletes.

Community Service

As student-athletes, we understand the importance of service and seek to make a lasting impact in the community. We collect used table tennis equipment donations for Backhanders Table Tennis Club (Kwanyako, Ghana) and partner with organizations such as Wake Boys and Girls Club to expand opportunities for young and aspiring athletes.

Promote Table Tennis

Through our passion for the sport and collaboration with others, we seek to help grow the table tennis community and spread its health benefits, especially in the United States, where this Olympic sport is generally known as only a basement game of ping pong.
