KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Table Tennis Association (JTTA) is continuing to strengthen its development programme as preparations intensify for the Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships in July in Delhi, India.

The focus remains on building strong systems, expanding opportunity, and ensuring athletes are fully prepared for the demands of elite international competition.

For over 90 years, the Commonwealth sporting movement has united athletes from across member nations in a shared celebration of sport, performance, and cultural exchange.

While table tennis is no longer part of the Commonwealth Games programme, the Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships remains an important fixture, providing a high-level platform for competition and athlete development.

These principles continue to guide the JTTA’s approach. The association is prioritising raising technical standards, increasing access to competition and improving collaborations.

As preparations continue for Delhi, emphasis remains on ensuring athletes and support staff are fully aligned and progressing within a structured framework designed to support consistent development and high performance.

“Every athlete begins with a dream, but those dreams are only realised when they are supported by opportunity, guidance, and belief. Our responsibility is to build an environment where talent is nurtured, character is developed, and every player has a clear pathway to reach their potential. That is the legacy we are working toward, and this championship reminds us why that work is so important,” said JTTA President Ingrid Graham.

Aubyn Henry, chief strategy and development officer shares similar sentiments as he looks forward to continuing to build the association.

“Table tennis has a unique ability to transform lives. It is shaped by vision and a continuous commitment to improvement.

At JTTA, we are focused on building an ecosystem where every investment contributes not just to today’s results, but to the future of Jamaican table tennis,” he said.

General decretary Sean Wallace added: “Success is built on preparation, coordination, and consistency. As the championship approaches, every aspect of our planning is centred on ensuring athletes and coaches are fully supported so they can perform with confidence.”
