What Is Butterfly League Table Tennis?

Five Great Reasons to Start a Community League

Community Leagues are fun for everyone!
Ninety-nine percent of all active table tennis players in the U.S. belong in Community Leagues. Community Leagues are for players with little or no organized table tennis experience who are looking to have fun, make friends, and improve their skills. The flexible formats and the unique point-handicap system make these leagues fun for the entire family. Table tennis leagues are one of the few activities where parents can participate with their children, husbands can participate with their wives, and players of all ages and body types, male and female, can have fun and stay in shape.
Every Community Should Have a Table Tennis League.
Right now, most don't. A recreational player will get involved in organized table tennis if there is a league within ten or fifteen minutes of their home or workplace. Every community, large or small, has a community center, senior center, church, or school. These organizations and institutions all share a desire to provide quality programs for people who live in their community. If a league does not exist in your community, explore these community resources, partner with them, and watch your table tennis community begin to grow.
Community Leagues are a great way to organize regular play.
In exchange for your commitment and pre-payment, you are guaranteed plenty of play, lots of fun, and the opportunity to improve. Leagues ensure that participants get to play a variety of players and receive an equal amount of playing time. The point-handicap system helps to make most matches competitive, so even the most inexperienced players have a chance to win. You can keep statistics, improve your point-handicap, and win prizes.
Community Leagues can generate income for you or your non-profit organization.
An eight-week session should cost between $40 and $80 per participant, depending on the quality of the playing conditions, the facility, and the geographic location. If you organize a fall, winter, and spring session, and you average fifteen paid participants, your gross revenue from just one Community League will be between $1,800 and $3,600. If you have access to a facility with eight tables or more, you can accommodate thirty-two or more players and double your gross revenue.
Community Leagues are the best way to fuel the growth of table tennis in the U.S.
There is an average of about 60,000 recreational players in each state. When you organize a Community League you provide playing opportunities that appeal to them; that make them feel welcome. Once we embrace recreational players and acknowledge that they are the missing piece to the puzzle, our sport can begin to grow. Community Leagues will provide an unlimited source for players, spectators, volunteers, coaches, club officers, umpires, sponsors, and future champions.
