NATT partners with New York Club
North American Table Tennis (NATT) announces today that it has entered a
partnership agreement with the New York Table Tennis Foundation (NYTTF) to
assist in the establishment of a new table tennis club in Manhattan.
NYTTF's Robert Chen has announced the Grand Opening on June 26, 2004. It is
located at 384 Broadway, New York, NY. Renovations of the playing space are
nearly complete!
Under terms of the agreement, NATT is furnishing tables and other playing
equipment in exchange for the right to operate tournaments in the space for
a three-year period.
NATT President Richard Lee finalized the agreement after an on-site
inspection of the club's playing space. "This is a much needed facility,"
he said. "It's spacious and will answer a demand in Manhattan for a newer,
larger playing site."
"Robert Chen has impressed me as a visionary, a high-energy person dedicated
to expanding organized Table Tennis in America's largest city." Lee
continued. "This partnership benefits both my company and his efforts, but
it's the players in New York City who will benefit the most."
NATT is best known for its operation of the North American Teams
Championship and the STIGA North American Tour. In recent years NATT has
also branched out into contract tournament operations, including the US Open
and US National Championship and the AAU Junior Olympics. NATT also
processes player ratings for USATT. NYTTF is the first club to be sponsored
by NATT. "It's a logical extension of the NATT goal", Lee said, "to
introduce more and more Americans to a quality table tennis experience." |
