Coaching

Lichfield TTC provides a regular course of coaching for juniors between September and June.

We are grateful for the support of the Lichfield Conduit Lands Trust in helping cover the costs of our juniors coaching.

The 2024/25 coaching course resumed on September 2nd

This is our group for 2023/24

 

	Co-ordination and balance excercises etc are used for training as well as time on the tables.

 

This was some of our group for 2023

The September 2022 Juniors coaching group.

The table pictured was used at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham 2022, and was subsequently donated to Lichfield TTC in October as part of Table Tennis England's Legacy programme. We are now putting it to good use, for coaching juniors, match play, and general club use, as well as projected use in the wider community wherever possible.

Tamworth Tournament Success

Jacob Housley, one of our recent graduates from the coaching course, won the Tamworth & District Junior Tournament in June 2023.

 

Juniors in the National League

Our juniors team had their first taste of competitive action in the National Junior League on 4th Nov 2022.

Sam Bradley, Daniel Tole and Jacob Housley were the team.
Team shirts were provided by the club, with help from sponsors Lawrence Industries.

We are pleased to say that thanks to support from the Swinfen Broun Charitable Trust,
we were able to provide coaching for juniors free of charge for 2021-22.

*************************************************************

Our former Head Coach Ian Knights has had to retire from the role as the Parkinsons Disease he has suffered from over the last year
or so has now impaired his mobility to the extent that he no longer feels able to do the job justice. Thanks go to Ian from all the
club members, and those who he has helped develop over the years.

******************************************************

Our previous chief Roger Willetts passed away on Dec 8th 2021, after being treated for leukemia.
Roger had been our official coach since 2002, and had always contributed to the development of players young and old.
He had not played competitively since the start of the Covid pandemic in 2019, but most recently played in
Tamworth Div 2 for our Musketeers team.

We will all miss him. Thank you Roger, from all of us at Lichfield TTC.
