If you like watching tennis, and you like hitting stuff around, you should try playing table tennis. It’s just like tennis, but it’s on a small table instead. You use paddles instead of rackets and the paddles have rubber on them.

But watch out! If you want to play table tennis, you have to have a very quick reaction, some hard training, and finally, try your best. When your opponent hits a ball onto your side, you have barely 3/4 of a second to react if the shot is slow. If it’s fast, watch out. The ball can travel to speeds of up to 80 mph! Imagine how hard it is to hit a ball that fast.

So if you like the tennis excitement, you might enjoy table tennis just as well. And the good thing is, if you don’t like something, you can always switch it out!
