Table Tennis

Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a fast-paced sport that combines skill, strategy, and quick reflexes. Played indoors on a table with lightweight paddles and a small ball, it can be enjoyed casually for fun or competitively for challenge. The game is suitable for all ages and abilities, helping players improve hand-eye coordination, concentration, and agility. Table tennis is a fantastic way to stay active and social.
