One week to go until TTA National Hopes Tour: Queensland

Published Mon 14 Sep 2026

Following the first two stops of Table Tennis Australia's 2026/27 National Hopes Tour, it's almost time for our next stop, as the tour continues at the South Pine Indoor Sports Centre, Brendale, Queensland, which takes place from 21-25 September.

Former Olympian, Paralympian and TTA's AIS Gen32 Scholarship Coach Melissa Tapper will once more lead the third event of the 2026/27 schedule, following our first two tours in South Australia and Victoria.

A reminder that a spot at a National Hopes Tour delivers a huge range of benefits for Australia's younger table tennis players, with Tours including a four-day training camp, followed by a fifth and final day of the tour, which includes the Hopes Challenge competition where Hopes Points can be earned. 

Upon the conclusion of the 2026/27 schedule, the top 15 players from the tour will garner a range of benefits, with first place securing automatic selection to the Australian Hopes Team for ITTF-Oceania Hopes Week 2027. The top three will gain entry to the Australian Hopes Squad (for multiple international opportunities), free Entry to the National DTE Program and free entry to one 2027/28 TTA Hopes Tour & Pathway Camp, whilst the top four will gain eligibility for TTA’s WTT Event Program. Athletes who finish in the top eight will be eligible for Letters of Support for academic scholarships, whilst all in the top 15 will receive a discount for 2027/28 Hopes Camps. 

Spaces for the Queensland tour from 21-25 September remain available, and you can register right here!
