New CCTTA starts April 1st (Sun)

 

open more! - get more supermarkets to sponsor, chinese supermarkets are super.

 

but to put this in a seriously light, does table tennis have the potential to be a second generation Asian immigrant pass-time, or do the youths general see it as another "activity" their parents impose on them, like learning piano (music), going to kumon/abacus, saturday chinese school, going med school/law school/dentistry.

 

also, i would like to argue that second generation Chinese Canadians cannot become professional TT athletes, the reason being? - Most immigrant parents will only allow their children to play it as a "enhancing" sport, meaning, something to add to the development of their child; but the prospect of having their child drop out of school and to play ping pong for a living is something most immigrant parents cannot handle (they gave up too much for their kids to give up on a "better" life)

 

these are some reflections regarding some identity issues with second generations, it's interesting we can put a TT spin on it (nice pun?)

 

feel free to comment!

 

Its a good thought to have monthly membership as mentioned by henner. By the way do you have plans for another league?
