Table Tennis (Swish)
Vision Impaired Table Tennis (Swish)
Vision Impaired Table Tennis is a fun and challenging sport which can be played by vision impaired and sighted players. It varies slightly from regular table tennis as:
The bats are long and rectangular and the balls have bells in them.
The table is slightly longer and instead of a net there is a tall panel of wood, creating a visual screen.
The ball is hit so it rolls under the screen to the other side.
Wooden bumpers on the side of the table stops it from rolling over the edge.
Come give it try! It is suitable for all ages, as long as you are over one meter tall and can reach the tables.
