We are an enthusiastic club who welcome casual, intermediate and high performance players. We are always looking for new members and would love to see you at one of our training or Do Something Different sessions. There is regular professional coaching on Sunday and equipment is provided at all sessions as required.  Everyone can come to two free sessions (excluding taster sessions and trials) before getting membership; however, if you plan to continue coming please buy membership (or a P&P ticket for Wednesday sessions).

UEA Table Tennis kit can be bought from Birds of Dereham.

Additional Cost of Sport Ranges

**For a more up to date cost breakdown, please see our Instagram post**

The additional cost of sport project, which was created by the Students’ Union, alongside uea+sport, is designed to give prospective members information on the range of costs they may face in joining their chosen sport.

This range should be taken as guidance. For compulsory costs, this price includes uea+sport membership which is £55, and you only need to pay once to join all of our clubs.

When considering additional costs, some clubs may have none and others may have further costs. This is often dependent on the level of competitiveness for the sport you get involved in, and so recreational or socially playing may be cheaper. You may also have equipment which can be used between multiple sports, for example shoes or gum shields.

For any questions, please ask the sport club for specific further information, or union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for further information on the project.

Many thanks,

Luke Johnson
