Junior Coaching at the Hilton

Hilton Table Tennis Centre is proud of its record in providing opportunities for young people to learn and develop table tennis skills through their Junior Coaching Scheme. Since opening the achievement of Hilton Centre coaches and junior players have been acknowledged by the Bolton Table Tennis League. Hilton club coaches have received awards for ‘outstanding help given to junior players’ on eleven occasions in the past fifteen years. Juniors who have attended Hilton coaching sessions have received the ‘most promising junior of the season’ award on eight occasions and three have received the ‘most improved player of the season’ award over the same period. Hilton Juniors have gone on to represent Lancashire and the North West at cadet / junior and senior level.

Junior coaching sessions are held each Tuesday evening 7.00 – 9.00 pm. Qualified, advanced CRB checked ETTA coaches and a number of helpers provide coaching. Players are graded according to their ability, from beginners to advance, and are encouraged to progress to higher skill levels. Players of all abilities, from ages 8 – 17, are welcome to attend, no prior booking is required but it would be appreciated if parents / guardians would attend on the first visit. All juniors will be invited to become Junior Club Members.

The club operates a child safety protection policy in line with ETTA guidelines.
For more information on coaching, contact Brian Young.

Equipment, table tennis tables, bats & balls are provided at no extra cost over and above nightly session fee.

The club runs a junior team in the Bolton Table Tennis League. The junior team play all their matches, with a few exceptions, at the Hilton on Tuesday evenings.

Hilton Table Tennis Centre is currently seeking to develop links with Senior and Junior Schools in the locality.
