Table Tennis, also known as ping pong, offers a fantastic way to stay active and have fun, and it's available right here at our club.
Table tennis is a dynamic sport played with small paddles and a lightweight ball on a table divided by a net. Players rally back and forth, aiming to score points by hitting the ball over the net onto the opponent's side of the table. This game requires quick reflexes, precision, and agility.

The Format and Scoring
Table tennis can be played in singles (one-on-one) or doubles (two-on-two) formats. The game follows straightforward rules: players must serve the ball diagonally across the table, and the rally continues until a player fails to return the ball legally. Points are scored when the opponent fails to return the ball over the net or onto the table. Matches can be played to a specific number of points (e.g., 11 or 21), with players alternating serves every two points.
Fitness Benefits
Table tennis is not only fun but also offers several fitness benefits. Playing table tennis engages various muscle groups, including the legs, arms, and core. The game improves hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and balance. It's an excellent cardiovascular workout, as players constantly move around the table, burning calories and improving endurance. Additionally, table tennis is gentle on the joints, making it suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
