Table tennis, affectionately called ping-pong, is a fun and exciting indoor sport played on a table split by a net in the middle. Players use small bats to send a lightweight ball flying back and forth over the net. The goal is to score points by making it tricky for your opponent to return the ball accurately. With its fast-paced rallies, table tennis is all about quick reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and a sprinkle of strategy!
'Table tennis originated in the late 19th century in Britain.
Originally played with makeshift equipment across a dining table and known as Whiff-Whaff'
