The history of the Traralgon Table Tennis Association dates back to 1949 when it was initially formed by the Apex Club of Traralgon. The association started with a small group of enthusiasts looking for regular games of table tennis. As word of their activities spread, the popularity of table tennis grew, and more people became interested. In order to accommodate the increasing number of members, the association had to move to various venues over the years, including church halls and the Traralgon Agricultural Show grounds.
Eventually, construction began on a dedicated table tennis stadium in 1970, which officially opened in 1973.
The association has been conducting local and state level competitions at the Davidson Street Stadium ever since. In 1981, the concept of exclusively veterans table tennis competitions began, and Traralgon Table Tennis Association organised its first exclusive Veterans Pennant Competition in 1992.
With its long-standing history and commitment to providing quality table tennis programmes, Traralgon Table Tennis Association is a highly respected and inclusive sports club in Latrobe City.
