Notes

Table Tennis/Polybat:

This is an instructional program for beginners and advanced players. Basic table tennis techniques such as forehand, backhand and the serve are demonstrated and practiced. Participants learn and use the rules of table tennis in practice matches and a singles tournament. Developed in England, Polybat is a game adapted from table tennis. Unlike tennis, polybat allows more than two players to participate at a given time; a lighter paddle and side walls offer greater control and an exciting experience. Rules for polybat are covered in a mini-tournament.
