Sydney Boys High School

Table Tennis

Table Tennis is one of the quickest and most skilful sports with the leading players needing explosive power combined with a delicate touch. Table Tennis is now both a summer and winter sport at Sydney Boys High School. Forty students participate in the program each term.

Facilities and Coaching

Table Tennis is played at St Michael’s Anglican Church Hall, Surry Hills. The facility allows students to train on six tables simultaneously and provides easy access from the school.
