The origins of table tennis date back to England, when the nobilities could not play outdoor sports during the winter and rainy months. Affectionally known throughout the world as ping pong, from the sound made from the ball boucing of the table and hitting the racquet.

Most people play at home purely for enjoyment and we encourage the same here at the Cairns Table Tennis Association. If you are wanting to play seriously the official rules are available. This is a good source for beginners and professionals alike.
