Table Tennis
Come down to try out table tennis - it's a great way to meet new people! We welcome everyone, whether it be your first time picking up a racket or if you're a seasoned professional, we'll be sure to have someone for you to play against. You're welcome to bring friends along too, to finally settle who's better at table tennis. We will provide all equipment so make sure not to miss out! For more info, updates, pictures and videos, follow us on Instagram.
Every Tuesday from 5:00PM until 7:00PM, and every Saturday from 12:00PM until 3:00PM we have a recreational session, where all players are welcome.
This session is for doing anything you like which could range from having a knock-around to having a self-training session. All sessions are held in The Cube on Floor 2 of the Students' Union.
Every Sunday from 12:00PM to 3:00PM we have a training session only for Team members.
You DO NOT need to buy a sports pass to play in the sessions.

The Committee
All clubs and societies within the Students' Union are run entirely by students. The student committee for Table Tennis this year are:
President
- The President has the task of overseeing all matters regarding SUTTC. They are expected to help their committee whenever other committee members require help. The President also need to chair regular committee meetings and to arrange them whenever necessary. The President should have an ambitious vision for SUTTC to help develop it into one of the university's best sports clubs.
Treasurer
- The Treasurer has the task to look after and be responsible for SUTTC's finances. They must be able to report all incomings and expenditures of SUTTC during committee meetings as well as advise on whether there is money to spend. They would also be responsible for overseeing grant applications and to ensure they are submitted on time. The Treasurer will be the first point of call for team members looking to reimburse any expenditures (such as travel for BUCS matches) and must do so in a timely manner. Ideally, the Treasurer will be mathematically able and can keep records in spreadsheets.
Health & Safety
- The Health & Safety Officer has the responsibility of the safety of members of SUTTC. They are required to write (most of the time, edit) the Risk Assessment due at the start of the year and to update it whenever necessary. Whenever there is a health or safety concern, they must bring it to the attention of the President and/or SUSU staff.
Social Secretary
- The Social Secretary (or Secretaries) is responsible for all social aspects of SUTTC. This mainly consists of arranging social events which are always inclusive. They need to be able to plan, oversee and advertise any socials they wish to run.
Welfare Officer
- The Welfare Officer will be responsible for the wellbeing of SUTTC members. They will be open to any discussion regarding mental health, discrimination, accessibility and generally any issues that any of our members have. They should regularly check the welfaresuttc@soton.ac.uk email to reply to any confidential emails.
Men's Captain
- The Men's Captain has the responsibility to organise and oversee Wednesday's BUCS fixtures. They also have the role to work with the Coach and Women's Captain to organise trials each year. The Men's Captain must be a leader during matches and being experienced in table tennis would be beneficial.
Vice President
- The Vice President will need to know SUTTC as well as the President so that they can take the lead whenever the President is not around. They would need to work closely will the President. Their role description is similar to the President's so take a look at the President's role description for more details.
