Club History

bullet

The Virginia Tech Table Tennis Club was officially established in August 2002. Prior to that players could only play in individual competitions, mainly the ACUI Regionals/Nationals.

In November 2002, the Virginia Division of the NCTTA was created, Virginia Tech played a crucial role in the creation of that division. In the previous years the Virginia schools were part of the Carolina Division of the NCTTA, which made it practically impossible to compete due to travel distances and thus the Carolina Division had only schools from North Carolina representing it in the NCTTA Nationals.

In the first year of Division play, the team won the Division without losing a single match. The ‘B’ team finished 2nd in the Division finishing ahead of other ‘A’ teams. After winning the Division, the ‘A’ team went on to the Nationals in Philadelphia and finished the season ranked 9th in the country among a total of 75 colleges members of the NCTTA.

Our Division includes: UVA, James Madison University, Eastern Mennonite University and Bluefield College.

In terms of numbers, within 1 year the Virginia Tech club has established itself as a Top 3 club in the nation in size.

Another important fact is that this year Virginia Tech will be fielding the first ever Women's College Table Tennis Team in the United States. Not even scholarship teams like Texas Wesleyan have that honor. The Women's Team will play in the Virginia Division as a separate team competing against all other teams

Club Membership
