Table Tennis
Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a fast-paced sport played between two or four players using small paddles and a lightweight ball on a rectangular table divided by a net. The objective is to score points by hitting the ball over the net, making it bounce on the opponent's side in a way that prevents a return. It requires agility, precision, and quick reflexes.
Table Tennis England are the governing body of table tennis in England, responsible for representing, co-ordinating, administering, marketing and developing the sport in close co-operation with related bodies such as British Para Table Tennis (BPTT).

To do this, they are offering colleges access to the Bat and Chat social programme that can be delivered by the This Girl Can Ambassadors or other students at your college.
