Children and Young Peoples Charter and Pledge
The ETTA's Children and Young People's Charter
As a young player of table tennis you are the future of our sport, and the ETTA want to help you to meet all your goals and ambitions whilst having FUN!!!!
Those of us who organise our sport - from your club coach and helpers, local leagues and counties right through to the staff who are involved with national squads spend a lot of time making sure that table tennis is a safe and enjoyable sport for everyone.
The ETTA hopes that everyone you meet whilst playing table tennis will be helpful, listen to what you are saying and always treat you with respect.
Occasionally some of you may find yourselves in the situation where someone makes you feel unhappy or uncomfortable. If this ever happens to you then you should always tell your parents or carers immediately. However, if that is not possible for whatever reason then talk to an adult at your club or session who you feel you can trust.
Sometimes you may feel that you cannot talk to anyone, or you may worry that they either won't listen to you or take you seriously. Don't worry you can always ring the ETTA's Childline number on: 01424 456211 where someone will always listen to your worries or concerns.
