Pudsey Table Tennis Club in Yorkshire is an English Table Tennis Association registered ADVANCED PREMIER CLUB. This means that we have attained set standards in areas of club development, competition, management duty, facilities and other club activities. We pride ourselves on having a strong coaching structure with ETTA qualified coaches from level 1 to senior level. Our coaches are responsible for many of the coaching sessions run in Leeds schools and our development of players can be seen in the number of players who have gone on to achieve county honours and England representative honours.

We have been awarded Clubmark status - a Sport England Cross-Sport scheme that recognises safe, effective child-friendly sports club.

The club has an open membership policy and have a range of members whose ages run from 10- 70, male and female from all sections of the community. We are a club who like to socialise with many tales of past functions and playing at a club with a bar is an added advantage!

The club is affiliated to the Leeds League and also competes in events run by the Yorkshire TT Association and English TT Association.

For this season 2011/12 we have ten teams in the Leeds League with teams comprising of adults and juniors from division 1 to 6 so we can cater for players at all levels. In the Bradford League we have one team this year which will compete in division 3. One team of our cadets will be competing in the National Cadet League at Bradford and Rotherham.

In the Senior British League we have two teams this year which will be competing in both division 3 and 5 North of the ETTA Senior British League.

Three of our Ladies will be competing under the banner of Leeds Ladies in the Senior Women’s British league and also three of our men will be competing as a Pudsey team in the National Veterans league.

History

Granville Thornton founded the club as Bramley Ebenezer Table Tennis club in 1970, and was elected as our first President at the A.G.M. in July 2002.

The club was formed to provide alternative recreational facilities for children, both from the church and the local community.

The club entered 2 teams, into the local youth league in 1970 and officially entered the Leeds League in 1973 and the Bradford League in 1984.

With the Closure of the church in 2004 the club found a new home at Pudsey Bowling Club. As a result of the success of this move the club was renamed Pudsey Table Tennis Club at the A.G.M. in July 2005.
