Table Tennis

Table tennis, also known as ping-pong is a sport in which two to four players can play. It involves a light weight ball and a table tennis racket. The game is played  on a table divided with a net and the ball can only hit once on each side of the table as you hit it back and fourth. In 1926 the International Table Tennis Federation was founded. The game was invented when middle class Victorians decided to turn their dining room table into miniature versions of a table tennis table one night after dinner. When the game was first invented it had a series of different names, "whif whaf", "gossamer" and "flim flam".
