OUR CLUB HELPS!
Recently we received this lovely and unexpected email!
Thank you, we are happy to help!
“As a youth services librarian and educator, I would just like to say a quick word of thanks! I've been able to get some great use out of your Table Tennis Club's resource links list as I've been running a fun educational project on the sport of table tennis for a small group of 10-14 year olds over the last couple weeks. We were even able to use some of this information for our group project! Thanks so much for sharing!
One of our youngest, Anna has also asked me if I could share a piece that she and her mother found together on A Kid's and Beginner's Guide to Table Tennis, which includes a great breakdown on the history of the sport, benefits of learning table tennis for kids and adults, rules and scoring, form and technique, etc.
We noticed you don't have this one listed, but Anna was actually the one to bring up that this could be something you might like to include for any other students and families who may also have an interest in learning how to play during their down time, like Anna!”
thank YOU Anna for pointing this out. We have added it to our LinkS page.
Renowned physician, psychiatrist and brain imaging expert, Dr Daniel Amen, says:
'You still may think that calling table tennis a sport is silly, but I think it is the best brain sport ever. It is highly aerobic, uses both the upper and lower body, is great for eye hand coordination and reflexes, and causes you to use many different areas of the brain at once as you are tracking the ball, planning shots and strategies, and figuring out spins. It is like aerobic chess. Plus, table tennis causes very few head injuries. Table tennis is the second most popular organised sport in the world. What is even more impressive is that it is the youngest of the world’s major sports. At the competitive level, players hit the ball in excess of 90 miles per hour across the table!'
Lostwithiel Table Tennis Club welcomes all people who want to come and play
OUR FOCUS
Our focus is on enjoyment and not necessarily competition, although we do have good challenging matches amongst the mix and lots of spirited rallies!
We have recently bought two top quality tables - making three in all and there are bats and balls a plenty to borrow.
We charge £2 a session
OUR AIMS
The aims and objectives of the club are to offer table tennis as a social activity improving health and well being. Our ambition is to promote the club within the community, to provide activities in a way that is fair to everyone and ensure a duty of care to all members and visitors to the club.
HERE'S WHAT TWO OF OUR PLAYERS WROTE
"Thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to the world of table tennis. I was made to feel welcome and even though I'm a complete beginner was not made to feel that way. I was so taken with the afternoon I went out
and bought myself a bat that afternoon!!!!!"
"I thoroughly enjoyed it, although hadn't quite expected the wealth of high standard players
