Titans of Table Tennis Meet at the Coed Team event
The crown jewel of the NCTTA College Table Tennis Championships is always the Coed Team event. NCTTA is unlike any other competition in the sport in that school teams are able to place men and women to compete together and against one another and on the same team. The best of the best rise above all other areas, united by skill and teamwork. It is out of all of the events at the National Championships the grand centerpiece of them all.
This year’s competition sees 24 of the best University teams gather in Rockford, Illinois at the UW Health Sports Factory, but also uniquely 16 out of 24 include women as a pivotal part of the team.
The age-old argument about women in sports is put on pause at the NCTTA’s as these collegiate men and women will leave it all on the table.
California Berkeley enters as the #1 seed in the event and is the defending champion of NCTTA. Lurking close behind them are perennial giants of College Table Tennis, the Texas Wesleyan Rams, who are second to none with two standouts playing in Major League Table Tennis and a team of international talent to tote. Not to be outdone are the remaining seeds, who aren’t giving in to what it says by seed; they are coming in “hot” and ready to loop, smash, and hit whatever comes at them. A veritable who’s who of domestic US, Canadian, Puerto Rican and international table tennis names.
Check it all out starting Friday April 10th for the battle of the Table Tennis Titans, aka the NCTTA College Table Tennis Coed Team Championships!
