Jamaica’s best table tennis players are set to battle it out from September 6 to September 8 at the National Indoor Sports Center in Kingston, as the 2024 Jamaica Table Tennis Association (JTTA) National Senior and Junior Table Tennis Championships promise to deliver an action-packed weekend of intense competition across various age groups and skill levels.
The event is expected to feature the largest number of participants in over two decades, showcasing talent across a wide range of categories, from Under-9 boys and girls to the highly competitive men’s and women’s open divisions.
“This will be the largest participation in over 20 years,” said JTTA President Ingrid Graham, emphasizing the unprecedented turnout. She also highlighted that both the Men’s Open and Under-19 categories will see their largest-ever number of participants, adding even more excitement to this year’s competition.
10 overseas Jamaicans
In addition to local competitors, the championships will see a contingent of Jamaican citizens from overseas coming to the island to vie for top honors in their respective divisions. “We have over 10 Jamaican citizens living in London, Canada, and the USA coming over to participate,” Graham noted.
The three-day tournament is sponsored by several key partners, including OSIL, Western Sports, Graham International Consulting, SDF, JOA, Insport, Virginia Deer, Mother’s, Altamont Court Hotel, Auto Channel, Jamaica Post, and GEWO Jamaica.
The doors of the National Indoor Sports Center will open at 9:00 a.m. each day, offering fans and supporters the chance to witness some of the finest table tennis talent Jamaica has to offer.
