So with all the details in place, and all the structure and support, Let's get down to having some fun!  Picture the possibilities!  Starting with your team identity, your name, you'll set a tone and a style.  Would you represent your community by nameing your team 'The Madison Marvels'?  Is your goal more lighthearted, as in 'Hooligans'?  Do you name yourself for your playinging style, like 'Topspinners' or 'Chop Machine'?  Why not get sponsorship from that dry cleaner down the street?  He sponsors bowling teams, why not your table tennis team?  That's a short step to matching team uniforms with names on the back.  Imagine the intimidation factor of walking onto your opponents' turf in your matching jackets and shirts!

 

Then there's the question of cheerleaders, mascots, and logos!  You are only limited by your imagination.  You are submitting results to your local paper as well, aren't you?  Everyone wants to have their team photo in the local paper!

 

Got an away match scheduled this weekend?  Make that road trip all it can be by taking your tailgate supplies, whether that's stir-fry or brauts!  An awards banquet more your style?  Have at it!  Once you and your teammates are involved, you won't be that lone voice crying in the wilderness at work or school about the marvels of our sport.  You are part of a Team, a posse, a clique, a secret society all sharing the common experience of shared sweat, hard fought defeats and glorious victories, all followed by hearty handshakes and new friendships.  This is how we see it, a National structure supporting local flavor and regional pride, all resulting in the most fun and satisfaction you ever had through USA Table Tennis!  What are you waiting for?  Join today and be in on the ground floor of a great new adventure, the USATT Team League!
