Table Tennis @ Bristol SU

About Us

Welcome to the University of Bristol Table Tennis Club!

Whether you're picking up a bat for the first time or have years of competitive experience, there's a place for you at the University of Bristol Table Tennis Club.

We're a friendly and inclusive club that welcomes players of all abilities. Throughout the year we run regular social sessions, coached training, and competitive BUCS fixtures, alongside a packed calendar of socials and club events.

For those looking to compete, we have three BUCS teams (Men's 1s, Men's 2s, and Women's 1s) playing in the Western Division 1 leagues. If you're simply looking to play for fun, our social sessions provide a relaxed environment to improve your game, meet new people, and enjoy table tennis.

Follow our Instagram and join our WhatsApp Community to stay up to date with socials, sessions, and fixtures. We look forward to welcoming you to the club!

Bristol SU recognises that the costs of participating in student groups can be prohibitively expensive for some students. The Activity Hardship Fund was created to support those students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in their chosen activity due to the cost.
