Event Information

Registration for this event is strictly by invitation only. 

The International Table Tennis Federation drives a worldwide Hopes Program aimed at detecting young talents (Under 12) and supervising them from the earliest stages. The process starts with TTQ implementing a state identification event. We believe by detecting players earlier and providing them with the tools to succeed will raise the level of table tennis in our junior age groups.

This programme is in preparation for the National Hopes Program that includes a training camp and tournament. Through this, players are selected to compete at continental and then world stage.

TTQ will select and pay entry fees for one male and one female player to represent Queensland at the National Hopes Week & Challenge to be held from 7 - 11 April at Traralgon, VIC.
