Homemade Ping Pong fun!

I am terrible at ping pong. Let’s be honest here I have no hand-eye coordination. With that said a lot of people LOVE ping pong. I figured I should add my own innovation to the game. There are really two types of ping pong players. There are the formal players that want to play on high dollar fancy tables:

Then there are the renegade players. The "any table any time" type players. The give me a ball and a paddle and a table and we will go at it.

I fall more into the second category. I like the adventure of trying to figure out how to make games work with what you have at hand. I'm also really cheap!

Gopher, the company that sells all of the cool stuff that you played with in elementary school gym class, sells cardboard ping pong nets in a kit they sell to gym teachers so teachers can stage ping pong games on school lunch tables.

These nets are a cool idea! I decided to make my own out of cardboard I stole out of a  recycling bin.

I work as a youth director and the church I work at have these round dinning tables.

These tables are perfect for multi-person ping pong and the hard cardboard nets are perfect for multi-person ping pong too!
