Clayton Hall Table Tennis Club
This community based club offers young people from the age of seven to 16 a chance to play table tennis every Monday night. Members attend the club's training sessions to learn new skills and techniques with many going on to compete in local tournaments.
Whilst the club only launched in 2007 they have already reached maximum capacity so their £500 Cash 4 Clubs grant will allow them to increase the number of qualified coaching staff. This will enable them to undertake further work in local primary schools and to increase player numbers at their weekly sessions.
Robert Rhodes, Coach, said: "This grant is going to be of great benefit to our club. Whilst we've needed to purchase new equipment for ages we've been awarded enough to also put one of our volunteers through their Level 1 coaching course. With the new kit and a newly qualified coach we'll be able to support our work in local primary schools to a much higher level."
