FLORIDA SENIOR GAMES--TABLE TENNIS IS NOW REGISTERING

The Florida Senior Games State Championship for Table Tennis will be held on December 5-6, 2016 in beautiful Clearwater, Florida at The Long Center. This two day event will be a qualifier for the 2017 National Senior Games, which will be held in Birmingham, Alabama.

In order to qualify for the Florida Senior Games Table Tennis State Championship, you must first qualify in a local senior game. Each year there are close to 20 local senior games in Florida available for participants to enter in order to qualify for the Florida Senior Games Championship in December.
