Participant Pathway - Para Table Tennis 

Table Tennis Australia is partnering with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Paralympics Australia (PA) to implement strategies to increase the numbers of talented athletes with a disability entering into and then progressing through the Para Table Tennis Performance Pathway.

Athlete Development Framework (ADF) Framework

Foundations, Talent, Elite & Mastery (FTEM) is a user-friendly framework of sporting development that is representative of the “whole of sport” pathway continuum and integrates common and unique phases of development for participants at the active lifestyle, sport participation and sport excellence phases.

To assist the Para Table Tennis community with understanding the different stages of athlete development, Table Tennis Australia has developed the ADF using the FTEM model for Para Table Tennis.

This practical tool aims to assist personnel, coaches, teachers, parents etc. in reviewing, planning and supporting the Para Table Tennis athlete pathway.
