Intergenerational Sport
Table tennis can be enjoyed by people of all ages and sexes!
"I am the director of park district facility. We have been trying to find a way for our teenagers to interact with men from our community. Most of our teenagers wanted to play basketball at our facility. Not many men over 40 can or want to play basketball with these kids. On the suggestion of one of our community members we started a table tennis club. What a difference. We have many father and sons coming out to play, we have participants playing together that range in age from 8 to 80. It has been the answer we were looking for. Our young people now know and interact with the adults in our community."
