The Table Tennis Victoria Super League commenced on Good Friday, 6 April 2007, with its first ever Team Draft. The 2007 Table Tennis Victoria Super League will bring 18 of Australia’s top table tennis players together in a 10 week series involving 6 clubs. The stakes are high, only months away from qualification for the Beijing Olympics all players will want to make their mark. Each team will involve 2 male players and a female. All players are State or National representatives. On the day there were 26 athletes, 17 male and 9 female, vying for 12 male places and 6 female places on six teams. The clubs that will be contesting the inaugural season are -

• Sunshine and Districts Table Tennis Association
• Mornington Table Tennis Association

The weekly competition will be competed in the international standard venue of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC), matches will be contested weekly on a Wednesday night with a start time of 7.30pm, matches are likely to conclude within three hours. With the available facilities of this world class venue, the Super League will be looking to expand the knowledge of table tennis to not just the spectators, but into households with a TV series being filmed during the first seven rounds. Table Tennis Victoria (TTV) wishes that the exposure brought by the Super League will assist in the continued growth of the sport since the Melbourne Commonwealth Games 2006.
