See you for MLTT Week 9! 🌴

You feel that, table tennis fans? MLTT’s second season is just heating up. 🔥

Thirty-eight points separate the first place Carolina Gold Rush from the fourth-place Florida Crocs in the East Division. That margin is even slimmer — 25 points! — between the Texas Smash and the Seattle Spinners out West. It’s still anyone’s MLTT Cup to raise.

So you’re cordially invited to watch the first of four huge playoff-deciding clashes: Our

Week 9 event from February 14-16 at Broward Table Tennis Club in Davie, Fla. We promise there will be no love lost between Texas, Bay Area, Chicago, and Florida when ball meets paddle on Valentine’s Day Weekend. 💘

MLTT Volunteer Spotlight 🔦

So many of you have volunteered your time to help MLTT and expand the appeal of table tennis in the United States. Today, we wanted to thank a special helper: Behind the Table, an organization dedicated to making table tennis a standout sport and promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion.

Eleven-year-old BTT member Emma Yang volunteered to staff MLTT’s Week 6 event in Pleasantville, NY; here’s what she had to say:

“Hello, my name is Emma. I am 11 years old and I am currently part of the U-11 and U-13 junior national teams. I was very excited to be a ball kid and be able to watch MLTT players from up close. I really enjoyed watching MLTT because I got to see so many different playing styles. I also enjoyed watching it because I was hooked basically the entire time. Especially at the Golden Game, I could tell that everybody was really focused and intrigued, and the playing atmosphere became very tense. I overall enjoyed being a ball kid at MLTT.”

We’re grateful for volunteers like Emma. And we need more ushers, ticket takers, and general helpers for our upcoming meet in Miami, FL.
