Table Tennis

About

Table Tennis is hugely popular all over Europe and Asia, and is gradually becoming more popular in Ireland, being introduced in schools all across Connaught. When played intensively, table tennis is lauded for being aerobic exercise, exercising both the upper and lower body as well as increasing hand-eye coordination. According to Dr. Amen, "Golf is good; tennis is great; table-tennis is the best sport in the world!"

The NUIG Table Tennis Club caters for players of all standards, with some who wish to train intensively with our coach, Tom Shaughnessy, and others who simply play for fun. Every year, the club holds exciting in-house tournaments for example a tournament with players from GMIT. Furthermore teams from NUIG Table Tennis Club attend various competitions with other institutions, including the Colleges Table Tennis Leage in UCD and the intervarsities.

Everyone, under-grad. and post-grad. alike are welcome!
