Become A League Director
Butterfly Leagues

"Our mission is to help create organized and competitive community-based table tennis leagues that provide players of all ages and playing levels with the opportunity to develop technical skills, make lasting friendships, and have fun for a lifetime."

Butterfly League Table Tennis is a concept developed by Butterfly North America to recruit and train League Directors and League Coordinators to organize and run leagues in cities throughout the United States. It was inspired by a league system developed, tested, and proven successful in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. Butterfly League Table Tennis has two main objectives: to provide regular, organized, and competitive play for players of all levels and, more importantly, to provide an easy and enjoyable way for recreational players to take part in organized table tennis. The leagues that you organize will be your leagues.
