Watt is Table Tennis?
Welcome to the page for Table Tennis! Our sport is a mixture of fast paced action and a relaxed, fun time with friends! Table Tennis is easily accessible to all ages and skill levels. We play on a table with a small net in the middle, and we use a small plastic ball and hit it over the table with bats. It can be played just for fun, or competitively so we hope you come along to try it out!
Competitions
We currently have 3 teams, one in premier division (top division) and two in division 2 of the Edinburgh Lothian League. We are in the process of getting another team to put into division 4/5 as well to give a better opportunity for beginners to get into the sport and competition. We also compete in BUCS against other university teams. In BUCS we compete mainly within Scotland and also have the possibility of qualifying to the national UK tournament! If you are not up for competing, we run a recreational session and a club session each week to relax and have a good time!
Training
Our club is for all things table tennis, welcoming players of all abilities. We hold team training sessions at least twice a week, giving competitive players the opportunity to improve and develop their skills, while also helping less experienced players build confidence and get better. Whether you play for fun and relaxation or want to compete, our club offers both social and competitive opportunities. We regularly compete in tournaments across Edinburgh, Scotland, and the wider United Kingdom. We run multiple training sessions each week, in the Table Tennis Studio, Squash Courts, and Dance Studio 1.
