The Jamaica Table Tennis Association (JTTA) 2023 National Junior and Senior Championship is set to begin today with action at the National Indoor Sports Centre (Independence Park).

Competition is set to commence at 9:00 each morning with the conclusion on Sunday.

The championship is Jamaica’s premier table tennis event of the year, giving players the opportunity to showcase their talent and claim bragging rights.

This season’s edition promises to be exciting and entertaining with in excess of 270 entries across events, and is set to feature several overseas-based Jamaican players whose sole aim is to win the coveted title and be crowned national champion.

Six male players will be participating in the upcoming Caribbean Region Table Tennis Federation Mini & Pre-cadet Championships in the Santo Domingo, Dominica Republic, next week and this event will be used to fine-tune their preparations.
