Table Tennis, an Olympic sport and a
great aerobic exercise, not only keeps you
fit but keeps your reflexes and eye-hand
coordination sharp and exercises your
brain. Besides, it’s fun!
If you are the last ones playing,
please make sure you put the tables
and equipment away when finished!
Please don’t walk awaywith the balls.
