Last night I had a dream that Akron was hosting a Ping Pong Tournament. I probably mixed the thoughts of the Billiards Tournament I wrote about and wanting to play Ping Pong before I went to bed.
Unfortunately, the Ping Pong Club does not exist at Akron, but in my humble opinion, it should! I had a tennis buddy that started a club at my high school, and there are always people playing it in the rec.
Table tennis, also known as ping-pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth using table tennis rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules.
The Ping Pong Club could promote meeting new people while learning rules and techniques to the game. Hey! They could even do crazy ping pong tricks like these guys!
Great idea! I would totally join a ping pong club!
ReplyDeleteConsidering there is a hide-and-go-seek club on campus, I'm surprised there isn't a ping pong club already.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely play ping pong too, sounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great club, although I would be hesitant to join-I've seen Akron U kids play ping pong at the Rec and they are no joke.
ReplyDeleteUh, I would join the Hide and Seek club in a second. Ping Pong... I'd probably get owned even though I'm not that bad. I am actually very surprised there's not a ping pong club.
ReplyDeletethere is a ping-pong club..we gotta advertise more!
