BATS & RACKETS

When I was in college there was what was referred to as a ping pong table in the basement of one of the dorms. It remained a ping pong table in our minds until a young man from South Korea picked up a racket and then it became a table tennis table.He brought a level of skill and speed to that basement and table that most of us had never seen, yet alone played against before. It didn't matter if you were a player or spectator that young man showed us what we previously thought of as ping pong, could when played by highly skilled players be elevated to all the way up to an Olympic level sport.

Because the Covid mandates were liifted some of the best table tennis players from around the world gathered in Edmonton for the 2022 Alberta Cup table tennis tournament. Its too late to for the ournament but if you're interested in playing or watching high level table tennis contact the Edmonton Table Tennis Club.
