The ETTA regional club & facility project registers devised in 2008 by Regional Development Officers have identified up to 100 potential facility projects. Registers can be regularly updated and for projects to be considered the project team must work with the ETTA Regional Development Managers to develop their project in line with the application process. ETTA has a long term aspiration to create at least one Table Tennis facility capable of operating at PremierClub – Excellence level (minimum 24 hours per week, 40 weeks of the year) in each local authority area. Shop-ping Pong! 4 Where should facilities be located Table Tennis is played nationwide and facility development can be justified across the country. However the ETTA Whole Sport Plan identified a London focus for Sport England investment to develop projects that will capitalise on London 2012 legacy and interest generated in schools through Greenhouse* that fill a gap of facility provision in the capital city. *Greenhouse helps young people living in deprived communities develop positive life skills through sport and performing arts. They target those who may not otherwise have access to these opportunities, working in state secondary schools, special schools and community clubs. More than 5,000 young people every week develop life skills through Table Tennis in schools and community clubs across London and Wales. In addition to London, ETTA will consider applications from other areas that can help deliver local area agreements (in particular NI 8 adult participation in Ellenborough Table Tennis Club ETTA is particularly keen to develop Table Tennis facilities on school sites and utilise under used/ redundant buildings. 5 How could facilities be provided 5.1 Funding for Table Tennis facilities The ETTA has a capital facilities allocation available of £2m to cover the period 2009-13.
