The Spring 2011 Season of the LATTF team league gets underway Saturday, March 5th.

It’s shaping up to be a great season with several new clubs participating, and a bunch of new and returning players.

While I’m sure everyone’s excited to get out there and play some table tennis, a few tips to help the league run smoothly:

1. Know the rules (no, there won’t be a quiz, but it’s still important)
2. Check the schedule for your division. Show up 30 min. before the scheduled match time to warm-up (you want to play your best, right?)
3. Wear your team uniform (that way you’ll look all snazzy in your team photo for each match, plus it’s required, see #1).
4. Home team: Print out a blank team contest scoresheet and bring it to the match. Instructions for how to play the team contest are at the bottom (now how to win on the other hand, is up to you).
5. Home team captain: submit the results of the team contest within 24 hours (yes, even if your team loses). Be sure to take some photos at the match so you’ll have something to submit.
6. Everyone: Play hard and have FUN!!! (this one is mandatory).

Registration deadline extended! Hurry and sign-up your team today!

Registration is now open for the Spring 2011 Season (season runs from March until early June):

• $150 per team

Registration is usually handled by the team captain after getting approval from your home club owner (for more guidance on putting together a team see how to participate).

It’s shaping up to be a great season with more teams and more divisions than in the spring, a few new clubs, and a bunch of new and returning players. While I’m sure everyone’s excited to get out there and play some table tennis, a few tips to help the league run smoothly:

1. Know the rules (no, there won’t be a quiz, but it’s still important)
