🏓 BTTA Update: Term 1 Wrap-Up & Term 2 Junior Squad Enrolments Open! 🏓

Dear BTTA Junior Squad Parents and Players,

Firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you to all the kids, coaches, and parents for making Term 1 such a fantastic success at BTTA! We are charging into our final days of term, and the energy is incredible. A massive shoutout to our 51 Junior Club Representatives who are incredibly ready to take on the whole state! Let’s show them what BTTA is made of! 💪

As we gear up for Term 2, which kicks off on April 20th for a 10-week term, we want to share a few updates and give our current squad the first opportunity to re-enrol.

🏓 Costs & Tier Structure

Great news: pricing remains exactly the same, and all Term 1 direct debit bundles will carry over. Our 4-tier setup will also remain in place for group sessions:

  • Tier 4: Beginner (Spin Stars) – We had 25 new Spin Star players join us in Term 1! Players who successfully passed the Stage 1 course have been contacted and moved up to the next tier, most now ready to enter the Term 2 competitions. For players continuing in Spin Stars, SEE YOUR CURRENT STATUS HERE: https://airtable.com/appi5HM4nK80y9UZb/shr4zBTJ0Uty4oC09/tblL27IXs885PRIQX
  • Tier 3: Players with a rating of 500+
  • Tier 2: Players with a rating of 1000+
  • Tier 1: Selected High Performance (HP) players

(Note: Group sessions will continue with the same regimen—starting with all tiers gathering for warm-ups and fitness exercises, followed by a short break before splitting off into your specific tiers for training).

🔥 What’s New: Wednesday Night Flexi & Quest Matches Upgrade!

We are upgrading our Wednesday night rated match session into a full Comp Event! Flexi just got a whole lot better—we are welcoming our adult members and throwing the doors open to other clubs across Brisbane to come join the fun and climb the ranks.

Here is what you can expect over the 10-week period:

  • 📈 Tracked Results & Live Ladders
  • 💰 $250 CASH PRIZE for the most wins!
  • 💰 $250 CASH PRIZE for the biggest rating boost!
  • 🕒 5:00 PM: BTTA Junior squad arrive for warm-ups and preparation.
  • 🕒 6:00 PM: Draws and table numbers will be printed/displayed, and the event begins.

Bonus for the Junior Team: You will be able to roll your Wednesday night competition straight into your Junior Training packages! For other club members or adults 👉 Register early for Wednesday/Sat Flexi here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0dqbzAyqEbWdcgdOUOfPmyzC_3pAH1b3707pWcn65GM5YBQ/viewform

⚠️ Important Flexi Notice: TTQ Membership Check

Please check your current TTQ Membership here: https://brisbanetabletennis.org.au/about/membership/

Starting in Term 2, players who wish to keep using Rating Central will need to be upgraded to Competition Members. Most players are already Comp Members, but we do have a handful of Social Members who are new to rated events. You can easily upgrade at the club counter or by emailing Gio directly.

Competition is a huge part of our program—we have over 20 kids from Term 1 who are now ready to dive into a real competitive environment! Because of this, it is highly important that we get our Social Members upgraded to Comp Members for the new term.

🕒 Timetable & Extra Practice Perks

Please see the attached timetable for Term 2 below. The core schedule remains the same as Term 1, but we have added more social times and off-peak table times. We highly encourage junior squad players to take full advantage of these extra times to self-organize training partners, practice matches, and work on their serves.

  • 🤖 Robot Access: Players are welcome to use our training robot during off-peak and social times.
  • 🙌 Parent Perk: Parents can play for FREE during these off-peak/social session times! (when tables are available)

✅ How to Secure Your Spot

We reached maximum capacity in Term 1! Before we open the training program to new players, we want to confirm the schedules of our current BTTA Junior Squad. Please get in early to confirm session times.

If you have any questions at all regarding the program or your child’s progression, please feel free to reach out to Gio personally.

Thanks in advance, and we can’t wait to see you back on the courts for our biggest term yet!

Best regards,

BTTA TEAM
