Draycott & Long Eaton Table Tennis Club (the East Midlands' biggest table tennis centre), will be starting a weekly group for wheelchair users in January. 🏓 ♿️

Led by a licenced coach (UKCC certified, DBS, insured etc.), it'll be a small group comprising experienced wheelchair players of any age, teenage athletes looking for opportunities to switch sports, or beginners who would like to try out table tennis for the first time.

Bats and balls will be provided. The venue is wheelchair accessible, has accessible parking bays, an accessible wc and changing rooms, wheelchair friendly table tennis tables and a social area for relatives/carers. 🏓 ♿️

It's a new group and an opportunity to be "on the ground floor" in setting its direction. Please call or email to express your interest, get further details or arrange a visit.
