Worthing Table Tennis Club at Youth British Clubs League

Four players from the club attended over the two day period which ran from 9.30am - 5pm on the Saturday and 8.30am to 3pm on the Sunday.

The competition started each day with a warm up where each team had 30 minutes in total. Play started with each team playing three teams in their division on the first day and two on the second. Scores were tallied up from over the weekend to provide the position in the league table.

The teams competing provided a high standard of game which really pushed our members to play hard.

We started with a loss of 4 - 2 but determination gave us the motivation to push on ending with one win, one draw and three losses, with us finishing 4th out of 6 on the first weekend.

All results can be found on the British Table Tennis League’s website at https://british.ttleagues.com/league/2288/team/66656.

Whilst this was less than we had hoped for, for the competition provided us with invaluable experience, allowing us to see how others play and pick up ideas to help our own game. We also had time to socialise in the evenings and relax.

At the end of the weekend we came away tired but having enjoyed the time we had to play, compete and learn. We will be returning in February 2025 to play the second weekend, hoping to bring improved skills and match prowess.

Table tennis is a great game to play. It’s enjoyable, teaches concentration, hand/eye coordination, stimulates mental alertness and develops mental acuity - all great for mental health!

Worthing Table Tennis Club offers over 20 sessions each week based at Bohunt School. These range from after school clubs to adult beginners and advanced sessions in the evenings and Over 50s on Saturdays - something for everyone!
