Start table tennis in your community or school
Whether you're opening a club in your town or bringing table tennis into your gym, the path is the same – and you don't walk it alone. Here's how it works, what TTSASK provides, and why affiliating early makes everything easier.
Community clubs
Starting a club
A few committed players, a space to play, and affiliation with TTSASK – that's a club. We help you get equipped, funded, and connected to the provincial network.
Schools
Bringing it to your school
Table tennis fits almost any gym and any budget. We bring tables and coaches to you, and help you build something that lasts beyond a single season.

Affiliate with TTSASK
Becoming an affiliated club unlocks everything below – grant funding, equipment, insurance coverage, and a place in the provincial calendar. It's a modest annual fee and a short form.
Get equipped and funded
Apply for a MAP grant, lease tables for your space, and book a clinic to get players started. Most clubs use their grant to cover the tables and the clinic – see why that matters below.
Grow, with us behind you
Run regular sessions, send players to tournaments, and lean on TTSASK for coaching, officials, and support as you build. We're a small sport – the clubs are why it grows.
Why this matters
The MAP grant is your biggest lever
When you're just starting out, cost is the hardest part – tables, balls, a coach to get people playing. The Membership Assistance Program is Sask Sport funding that TTSASK distributes to affiliated clubs every year, and it can cover exactly those things: equipment, a table lease, and a TTSASK clinic. In practice, your MAP allocation can turn a bare gym into a running club at little out-of-pocket cost – which is why affiliating and applying early is the single most important move a new club can make.
