Table Tennis

• Public Tables – You can find table tennis tables in unexpected places on the streets of towns and cities all over England; to join in the fun, simply head for a table and play…it’s absolutely free! Pop your postcode into the Table finder map from Table Tennis England.
• Ping Pong Parlours – Ping Pong Parlours are ‘pop-up’ spaces (usually empty shop units), filled with table tennis tables to provide a fun, accessible venue to play ping pong for free.
• Clubs & Competitive Opportunities – We work with Table Tennis clubs & leagues across the country to ensure they provide an inclusive and welcoming environment. Table Tennis England also provide guidance to clubs on how to create inclusive sessions for people who may require additional support.

Polybat is a popular form of adapting table tennis for those with severe motor function problems, or those who are deafblind. For all other impairments, there are small adaptations you can make! You can play table tennis with bigger, coloured balls, players can sit against wheelchair players, some players can tape the bat to their hand to assist grip. The rule changes are minimal, with one slight serving change for wheelchair play.
