What is Table Tennis?

Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a fast-paced sport that involves two or four players hitting a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using small paddles. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. It requires quick reflexes and precise control, making it popular both recreationally and competitively around the world.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Table Tennis?
