Why is outdoor table tennis a hit in schools?
Because playing outdoor table tennis makes students healthier, happier and more productive. It offers...
Spontaneous Active Play
POPP outdoor ping pong
tables are weatherproof and
permanent for year-round use.
Their fixed net and equipment
holder (for racquets and balls)
provide opportunities for
spontaneous active play and
unstructured recreation before,
during and after school.
A Mind Booster
Outdoor ping pong is both
inherently physical and a brain
game. For students, it might feel like a fun break from the
classroom - but the game
develops hand-eye coordination,
balance and mental alertness - and this means better
neuromuscular skill and decision
making, increased concentration
(back in the classroom and improved tactical strategy
for players.
Exercise in Disguise
Ping pong is infectiously fun -
800 million players worldwide
agree! But it’s also a sport that
is deceptively physical - think
bursts of energy, aerobic
exercise, improved reflexes and
increased core strength.
For the Sporty + Not-So-Sporty
Ping pong is universally
enjoyed. At the heart of its
appeal is a ‘pick up and play’
simplicity - where age, ability
and skill level are no barrier to
having a game. Add to that - it’s
a low impact sport without a
high risk of injuries.
No Gender Boundaries
While ping pong is played in
nearly as many countries as
soccer(!), its small table size and
light racquets create a level playing field across
genders. This is a game where
power is matched equally by
creativity, spin and tactics - and
positive, social interactions are
par for the course.
