2024 Victorian State Team Announcement

Published Mon 29 Apr 2024

Table Tennis Victoria is excited to announce the TTV State Selection Panel has met and selected the Victorian Junior, Youth, Senior & Para State teams that will compete at the 2024 Australian National Championships in Mandurah, WA, this July.

In addition to the 103 players, Team Vic will be sending a Head Coach, Team Manager & Para Team Manager in addition to 11 additional coaches to provide support to all the players across the week.

All of us at TTV would like to congratulate the members of this year’s state team, especially the players representing Team Vic for the very first time!

"I am very excited for all of the members of our Victorian Team that will be taking part in the upcoming 2024 National Table Tennis Championships in WA." stated CEO Andrew Weiss.

"It's a culmination of hard work, dedication, and passion from the players, and we can't wait to celebrate their achievements over in the West."

"We are very proud of the players that will be representing Victoria and hope that they have a successful, fun and enjoyable event.”

The TTV State Selection Panel were bound by all regulations of the TTV State Team By-Law (By-Law 10) and bound by any decision of the TTV Board. The players to be selected in State teams are as follows (alphabetical)

TTV is also thrilled to announce the publication of our brand new State Team Handbook! This comprehensive guide is designed to ensure all players, coaches, and parents who are involved in State Team Selection are aware of and understand the processes, policies, guidelines and role descriptions for selection to Victorian State Teams.

The Handbook is also now available online at https://www.tabletennisvic.org.au/governance/

We encourage our members to dive into the handbook, explore its contents, and leverage it as a valuable resource as a member of Team VIC.
