Once again, HiTT reconfirmed its place as the top table tennis academy in the Maltese Junior categories. During the 2024 Junior National Championships held between 18th and 25th March, our players managed to get hold of 11 National Championship titles from a total of 17 events.

This amounts to a staggering 57.9% of the total Gold medals that were up for grabs – a very high percentage indeed.

Apart from the 11 Gold medals, HiTT Academy players also won 9 Silver medals, bringing the total tally up to 20 medals out of the available 34. This breaks the record we set at last year’s Junior National Championships!

Out of all this, we’re most encouraged by the fact that alongside the usual contenders, we also saw new faces climbing up the podium, such as Jake Arora, Ben Vella, Sean Gatt and Kayden Griscti. These are the next generation of HiTT players, who will surely leave their mark on Maltese table tennis in the years to come. Besides the winners, there’s no doubt that all the HiTT students who took part in these championships exhibited improvement. This is most satisfying for our extended coaching team, who were able to see a tangible outcome for the fruits of their labour.

How Does HiTT Academy Compare to Other Academies?

An analysis of the titles won by 5 Maltese table tennis schools during the Malta Junior National Championships 2024 clearly shows that HiTT Academy is now well ahead of the competition when it comes to results.

This success is backed up by continuous investment in the club’s infrastructure and coaching programme. HiTT Academy in fact invested a lot of resources to put in place a development programme for its athletes, according to their level of development. This includes:
