We have 5 Men’s and 3 Women’s teams compete in BUCS leagues and we also enter BUCS Nationals Individuals each year.

On top of Varsity where we take on the University of Nottingham, NTU has access to extra training opportunities to play alongside and train with members from Nottingham Sycamore Table Tennis Academy based at Carlton Lee Willows Table Tennis Centre and our players are given the chance to play in local league and British League event. On top of this, representing NTU, our men's 1st team came joint 9th in the European University Games last year.
