Sporting Schools is a Federal Government initiative that is all about fostering a lifelong interest in sport amongst Australian children. Manningham Table Tennis Club is proud to be apart of the Sporting School Programs and boasts several qualified and experienced coaches that are enabling the next generation to become actively involved within the wonderful sport of table tennis. These dedicated coaches help to provide students from schools within the Manningham area and wider community with the opportunity to access table tennis based activities before, during or after school.

The key purpose of the Sporting Schools Program is to encourage more children to participate within sport-based activities and empower their schools to help them achieve this goal. Sporting Schools that have students interested in learning how to participate within table tennis can:
1. help their students foster healthy and active living habits;
2. support health and physical education outcomes in the school curriculum;
3. access nationally endorsed sports products from Table Tennis Australia and the certified coaches of Manningham Table Tennis Club;
4. access a range of training and development material to support teachers in delivery of table tennis based programmes;
5. design programmes that create important links between schools, table tennis and the local community.

Our club has been apart of the Sporting Schools Program since its inception, and we are proud to be able to encourage students across Victoria to become active and develop their skills through table tennis.
