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).
