About Us
We are Barnsley Table Tennis Club!
Barnsley Table Tennis Club officially opened in October 2018, and things have looked up ever since! We have an active over 50's bat & chat session running twice a week and our junior coaching division is thriving. A lot of work goes into the running of the club, from maintenance and repairs to office work and meetings, we are grateful to have an outstanding team that makes Barnsley Table Tennis Club the outstanding place that it is!
Barnsley Table Tennis Club is based in Hope House Campus 1, based on Blucher Street. We have an amazing partnership with Hope House Church and we remain thankful to them for partnering with us on our journey! Through this partnership, we are able to provide some of the best table tennis facilities in Yorkshire!
We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, working through many volunteer hours. It is thanks to our amazing team that we are able to provide facilities that are clean, up to date and ready to use, we are the only permanently set up table tennis club in Barnsley! The club's main sports hall has four tables set up for general practice, three tables for match nights and eight tables for Junior Focus. We also have a separate room which has one table, with purpose laid flooring.
