Catering to persons ?from ages 6-99?, the St. Christopher Table Tennis Academy (SCTTA) officially opened its doors on Wilma St. to members of the community of St Kitts, providing a sport that demands strong discipline and can be approached by anyone.

Director of Sports Dave Connor said that table tennis is a sport unlike many others because parents could participate in it alongside their children. ?Look at it as an opportunity to develop an even stronger bond with your children. The parents can actually come and learn the game along with their children,? he said.

Table tennis remains a largely underdeveloped sport in St. Kitts-Nevis, but Connor noted that there are many scholarships and other opportunities available worldwide. He added that parents would have to partner with their children to develop good organisational skills if they were expected to take advantage of these opportunities.

Persons interested in joining the SCTTA may do so by picking up an application form during their normal hours of operation, which are Monday-Friday 4:30 p..m.-6:30 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m.-12 p.m.
