Test yourself on the table, or just have fun
Our competition calendar offers opportunities across the country, whether you’re taking your first steps into tournament play or are already ‘battle hardened’, you’re sure to find a place to test yourself.
Check out the upcoming opportunities here, including six great 1* and 2* competitions on January 18, on the ‘blank’ day in the Senior British Clubs League calendar.
If you are just looking for a new way to get active in the new year or meet people through exercise, you are also welcome in our sport!
As we all know, regular exercise at every stage of life brings physical benefits such as improved coordination and cardiovascular health – and just 10 minutes of playing table tennis can make a real difference.
It is also easy on the body because it is a non-contact sport and you can play within your own capabilities and limitations and still have a great game.
The benefits are not only physical, but also mental and emotional: table tennis can increase your energy, reduce stress and anxiety and boost self-esteem.
Everyone can play, regardless of age, physical ability or gender. Everyone can easily participate.
From public tables placed across the country as part of the Ping! initiative, to ping pong parlors in malls and hundreds of clubs, you’re sure to find a place where you can give it a try.

You can even play at home: a dining table can easily be converted into a table tennis table with a roller net set. To help you get started, you can find all the basic rules here.
The benefits of table tennis for mental health
Table tennis is more than just a sport; it is a valuable tool for promoting mental health and well-being. By recognizing and embracing its benefits, individuals can use table tennis to improve their overall quality of life!
As shown in the graph, one in four of us will experience mental or neurological conditions at some point in our lives. Physical activity has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and the risk of depression, and table tennis, as a flexible sport that suits everyone, is a fantastic way to enjoy these benefits. Here are five ways table tennis has a positive impact on mental health:
Enhanced mood: Table tennis can trigger the release of neurotransmitters linked to happiness and satisfaction, promoting pleasure and elevation.
Stress Reduction: The game requires quick decision-making and reflexes, which diverts attention from sources of worry and anxiety, leading to relaxation and calmness.
Anxiety relief: The focused concentration required during play can calm anxious thoughts, promoting mindfulness and emotional well-being.
Cognitive stimulation: In addition to the physical aspects, table tennis also challenges cognitive functions such as attention, memory and problem solving, improving mental acuity over time.
Social connection: Whether played informally with friends or at organized events, table tennis promotes social interaction and a sense of belonging, creating a support network that improves mental well-being.
