Table Tennis Club
The Cardiff University Table Tennis Club is a welcoming and growing club open to undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and university staff.
Whether you are completely new to table tennis or looking to compete at a high level, the club offers an enjoyable and supportive way to play sport alongside your studies.
Why Join?
You do not need any previous experience to join the club. Our recreational sessions are relaxed, friendly, and open to all abilities, making them ideal for anyone who wants to try table tennis in a low-pressure environment.
For those who want to improve, the club offers clear development pathways. Members can progress from recreational play into the Development Squad and, for more competitive players, the Performance Squad. You choose how competitive you want your university sport experience to be.
The club benefits from two experienced coaches, including a Head Coach who is the Regional Development Officer for Merthyr Tydfil. Coaching sessions are structured, supportive, and focused on helping players develop confidence and consistency.
Beyond BUCS, our strongest players have opportunities to train alongside the Welsh squad, providing valuable exposure to elite training environments.
Off the table, the club has a strong social side. Regular socials, pub nights, and events such as the annual Christmas meal help members quickly feel part of a friendly and inclusive community.
Competitive Table Tennis
The club competes in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) leagues with two men’s teams and one women’s team.
Trials are held annually to select players for BUCS squads. Selected players can also compete in the National BUCS Individual Championships and take part in additional tournaments against nearby universities such as Swansea University and University of Bristol.
Trial details and updates are shared on Instagram (@cardiffunitt).
