21.01.2022 RECORD HOLDERS - 4 x TEPPER’S REPRESENTED AUSTRALIA The Tepper family holds an Australian table tennis record that is unlikely to be broken any time soon having 4 siblings (Jan, Kerri, Glenn and Ross) represent Australia at senior level. Between 1982-1996 it was unusual for the Tepper name not to be in an Australian team line up. Kerri is a TTA Hall of Famer and TTA Life Member and one of the greatest ever Australian players, Glenn Tepper is a TTA Hall of Famer and Jan and ...Ross both won National titles. Considering the family originally hails from Murtoa, near Horsham and 300km from Melbourne, their achievements are even more remarkable. The Tepper’s received plaques and badges following completion of the Official Australian Representatives project, which identified every player who has represented Australia at senior level and detailed their complete career records.

16.01.2022 CANCELLATION NOTIFICATION - 2020 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS TTA regrets to inform that all 2020 National Championships, scheduled for November/December in Traralgon, have been cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. TTA has continued to monitor the situation and has been in ongoing dialogue with medical professionals over the past 6 months. After weighing up all options, the decision to cancel the events was made due to:... 1) There is uncertainty around whether Victorias COVID-19 situation will sufficiently improve to enable events of this size to be held. 2) It is not currently possible for all States/Territories to travel into and out of Victoria and there is uncertainty around when this will change. 3) The feedback provided by competitors across the various events in the most recent survey highlighted that a large percentage of competitors will not participate this year due to COVID-19 concerns (between 33%-48%). Although there is some likelihood that the COVID-19 situation will improve by the time the events were supposed to commence, it is recognised that competitors, State/Territory Associations and TTA need sufficient time to effectively prepare for the events. TTA considered whether a change of venue was feasible, however this is not possible given no States/Territories have fully open borders to all other States/Territories and vice versa and there is no likely timeframe around when this will change. TTA apologises for any inconvenience caused by cancelling the events, however we are hopeful that all stakeholders will understand and appreciate the unique circumstances. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the National Championships in 2021. In the meantime, please look out for one another and stay safe.
