Join our Table Tennis Club for a long list of benefits, such as skill development, fitness, social interaction, competition, stress relief, learning, a sense of belonging, goal achievement, and improved life balance. When played intensively, table tennis is lauded for being aerobic exercise, exercising both the upper and lower body as well as increasing hand-eye coordination.
Our Club host tournaments, provide coaching, send players/teams from UG Table Tennis Club to attend competitions nationwide, and organise various social events and parties to foster friendship among our members.
Our Club caters for players of all standards, with some who wish to train intensively with our coach, and others who simply play for fun. Truly a game that everyone can enjoy whether young or old.
Our Club is more than just a place to play; it is a family where players of all levels, from beginners to seasoned veterans, come together to learn, grow, and compete. We believe in fostering a spirit of inclusivity and encouragement. Whether you are here to enhance your skills, compete at a high level, or simply enjoy a friendly game, our doors are open to you.
Our community welcomes players from all skill levels, so come on down and join in on the fun!
