Table Tennis

Table Tennis is a sport that can be enjoyed by anyone. Newcastle Leisure has Table Tennis available at all dryside sports centres.

Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth with rackets (also known as 'bats' or 'paddles').

The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side.

Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions.

A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting an opponent's options to great advantage.
