Table tennis is a sport which is rapidly growing in popularity because it is so fun and nearly everyone can play (for more info, see Table Tennis Network). In Utah there are some 70 active players who have national ratings, and there are two table tennis clubs sanctioned by the U.S.A.T.T. and several tournaments each year.
Salt Lake City: Wasatch Front Table Tennis Club is no longer in operation. It has been replaced by the West Valley and Lehi clubs.
