Table tennis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Regional competition level table tennis, showing table, net, and player getting ready to return the ball with a winning backhand topspin stroke Table tennis , also known as Ping-Pong (a trademarked name), is one of the most popular games in the world in terms of player numbers, as well as being one of the newest of the major sports. "Ping pong ball" ( Chinese pinyin pÄ«ngpāng qiº ) is the official name for the sport in China Contents General description History Equipment and gameplay Equipment ... edit General description Play is on a nine by five foot (2.7 m by 1.5 m) hard rectangular table with the surface usually painted green or dark blue. A 6 inch (15.25cm) tall net bisects along the short axis of the table and is strung to extend 6 inches (15.25cm) beyond the table on each side. The paddles, also known as bats or rackets, are usually about 15 cm across and made of rubber coated plywood , although the rules specify no particular size. The 40 mm diameter ball is hard, lightweight and made of celluloid. Play is fast and demands possibly the quickest reactions of any sport. A skilled player can impart spin to the ball which makes its bounce difficult to predict or return with confidence. The winner is usually the first to score 11 points, a change which occurred in 2001 when the International Rules were changed, although the 21 point game is still widely played at recreational level. All games played in US national (sanctioned by USATT) and international tournaments (ITTF) are played to 11 points in either a best of five (5) games (preliminaries) or best of seven (7) games format (championship matches).

Columnists DisplayAd('B1'); Power and glory of the Games Print article email story Paris - The Olympic Games, an international festival of sport which originated in ancient Greece, were revived in the 19th century by a French aristocrat worried by young Frenchmen not getting enough physical education at school. The ancient Olympics were mainly about the ruling classes preparing for war and barred women. Successive presidents of the International Olympic Committee, which Baron Pierre de Coubertin set up in 1894, were just as eager to keep the working classes and women in their place. He took as his model the British and American upper class educational system of enlightened paternalism. The Greeks had twice tried to revive the Games, in 1859 and 1870, so the first Olympic Games, since the Roman emperor Theodosius had banned them in AD 393, were held in Athens. 1896 Athens The nine sports on the Olympic programme were athletics, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, lawn tennis, shooting, swimming, weightlifting and wrestling. A Greek architect Georgios Averoff picked up most of the bill and many of the competitors were simply tourists visiting Athens at the time.

What is even more impressive, is that table tennis is the youngest of the world’s major sports. At the competitive level, players hit the ball in excess of 150 km per hr. across the table. Since 1926, when the International Table Tennis Federation was formed, the sport itself has made tremendous progress in virtually all parts of the world. Among the "developed" nations, America is the last to discover the sport on a major scale. The ITTF now includes 127 National Associations today. Unlike baseball or football which is only played in some parts of the world, ITTF affiliated nations are found on every continent on earth. Thanks to the "Ping Pong Diplomacy"

HISTORY OF TABLE TENNIS The origin of table tennis has never been exactly pinpointed, even though it's a relatively young sport, younger than lawn tennis and not much older than basketball. The earliest known form of the sport, called indoor tennis, was played in the early 1880s by British army officers in India and South Africa, using lids from cigar boxes as paddles and rounded corks from wine bottles as balls, with a row of books set up across the middle of a table to form the net. Other versions developed in England during the 1890s, known variously as "whiff whaff" and "gossima," and Parker Brothers began manufacturing an indoor tennis kit that included a portable net that could be set up on a table, a small ball covered with netting, and miniature paddles. James Gibb, an Englishman who visited the United States in 1900, brought some hollow celluloid balls home and began playing indoor tennis with friends, using the new balls. Gibb apparently came up with the name "ping pong," representing the sounds of the ball hitting the paddle and then the table. However, an English manufacturer of sporting goods, John Jacques, registered "Ping Pong" as a trade name in 1901 and sold American rights to Parker Brothers, who came out with a new kit under that name.

91. USA Table Tennis - USATT Hall Of Fame - Fred Danner In 1979 Danner became the Leader of the US table tennis Team to the PanAm Games and in 1978 Fred became the first US olympic Delegate for table tennis. http://www.usatt.org/organization/halloffame/danner.html

FRED DANNER USATT Hall of Fame Inductee (1993) by USATT Historian Tim Boggan - Fred once said modestly that he was "possibly the most effective USATT Executive Committeeman [that is, Director on the USATT Board of Directors] in the history of U.S. table tennis." Umm, perhaps. At any event, I certainly do agree that he deserved to be inducted into our USATT Hall of Fame as an Official, for he was not only a thinker but a doer. A table tennis workaholic, he made countless local, state, regional, national, and international contributions. In 1961 he founded the Huntington, Long Island Table Tennis Clubwhich is still operating today. And in that year, too, he became president of the LITTA. Thereafter he founded more L.I. clubs, and encouraged workers of all kindsthose often behind the scenes like Fred himself who help to make tournaments successful and often get little or no thanks for all their time and effort. Danner was one of the Operations Managers for the 1972 U.S. Open. It had (and Fred himself always had such figures at his fingertips) 725 players in 46 events, played over 40 tables, for a total of 2,275 matches. He was also Operations Manager for the '72 "Ping-Pong Diplomacy" People's Republic of China Tour-Stop Match at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum.

The Middletown Club was founded by Normand Chouinard of Waterbury in about 1991. Norm, who also was a prominent tournament promoter, began the NorthEast Table Tennis Association (NETTA), with the intent to developed a network of clubs in Southern New England, particularly Connecticut. The Middletown TTC In addition to the fledgling Middletown club, Norm also began arrangements for two other club locations, in Danbury and Hamden, in 1993, while taking on responsibilities as the TT event coordinator for the upcoming '94 Special Olympics World Games in New Haven. As he saw that these responsibilities, along with a new Family, his career in Banking and volunteer work in his local parish were overextending him, he decided to seek out a successor to carry forward his plan for a coordinated network of clubs. So he conducted a national search within the US Table Tennis Community for someone to expand the Middletown club and Open additional clubs in Hamden, Danbury and elsewhere.

Named for its resemblance to the outdoor game of tennis , the game is similarly popular both as a recreational pastime and as a competitive sport, especially in Asia. II Rules and Equipment Print Preview of Section Table tennis is played on a table measuring 9 ft by 5 ft (2.74 m by 1.52 m), with its upper surface 30 in (76 cm) above the floor. The table is divided into opposing courts by a net 6 in (15.2 cm) high and a white stripe, running lengthwise down the center, that is used only for doubles play. The surface of a standard table is typically about 0.8 in (2 cm) thick and made of plywood or particle board. The resiliency of the surface is such that a standard table tennis ball, when dropped from a height of 1 ft (30.5 cm), will rebound to a height anywhere from 8.75 to 9.75 in (22.2 to 24.8 cm). The ball is hollow and made of either white or orange celluloid; it is about 1.6 in (40 mm) in diameter and weighs about 0.1 oz (2.7 g). The rackets (also called paddles or bats) may be any shape but usually are oval and made of wood, faced with rubber or sponge that may be pimpled or smooth.

The History of Different Sports Emporia High School-2001/2002 Freshman Girls Physical Education Classes Mrs. Hodges Football Hundreds of years ago, around 1046, England was conquered by Denmark and occupied by the Danish. The English finally forced them out after many bloody battles. A few years later, an English boy was walking through an old battleground. He uncovered a Danish skull left over from England's war with Denmark and started kicking it around. A couple other boys joined him. But some of them hurt their feet on the skull, so they decided to use an inflated cow bladder. Other sources show that it led to soccer and rugby. In 1146, grown men were playing football. Sometimes there were more than one hundred players on the same team. Instead of helmets players grew their hair longer to protect their skulls from severe injuries. Rugby, starting as a part of football, was developed by William Webb Ellias in 1823 in college. Players were ordered not to play in town but in vacant fields because the sport was so violent. They established some rules and they agreed that both teams should have the same number of players, though usually the teams still had more than fifty players on a team.
