About

NETT (North East Table Tennis) aims to improve the development opportunities for table tennis players in the North East of England, through various different coaching methods. Head Coach, Graeme Barella, has been playing table tennis for over 20 years and competed at local, national and international levels. He is qualified as a UKCC Level 2 coach, currently undergoing the Level 3 qualification with Table Tennis England.

Newcastle University have been using NETT’s services for 3 years, where our Head Coach, Graeme Barella, has guided the 2019/20 team to promotion to the BUCS Premier Division, reaching the BUCS Cup Final and topping Division 1 of the local Northumbria League; resulting in a nomination for Newcastle University Coach of the Year. Running the sessions at the University has allowed Graeme to gain experience of coaching different cultures and personalities, helping those who are new to the sport as well as elite level players.

Alongside the University coaching, Graeme delivers 1-to-1 sessions with a number of North East players of varying standards. Having qualified for the Senior National Championships (Top 32 in England) for the past 2 years, Graeme is able to offer high quality sparring during each session.

NETT will be hosting a number of Training Camps and Tournaments throughout the year, so be sure to follow our social media channels for the latest information.
