Ping pong (also known as table tennis) was invented in Victorian England. It was initially played as a game of parlor. J. Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked the term “ping-pong” in 1901.

Henry Lawes, Wymondham, England, founded the International Table Tennis Foundation in 1926. The founding members came from nine countries, including India, Czechoslovakia and Sweden. With 226 member associations around the globe, this organization is still the governing body of the sport.

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), has one of its core missions: to promote table tennis worldwide. This includes encouraging the sport to be played in every corner of the globe. ITTF Development was created by ITTF to help everyone enjoy the sport, even those living in less fortunate areas.

Although table tennis was slow to develop into a competitive sport in the early days, 1926 saw the first World Table Tennis Championships held in London. They have continued to be played every year since. Ping pong was not included in the 1988 summer Olympics.

Since then, table tennis has refined its rules. They established rules that allowed players to compete at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Since then, organizations such as the International Table Tennis Federation, have promoted and elevated table tennis to a new level.

The official rules of Table Tennis changed the scoring system, making it one of the most significant changes in the game. The scoring system, which had been 21 points for 75 years, was now 11 points. This rule can be broken if each player scores 10 points. In that case, the winner must win by at least 2 points.

ITTF established World Table Tennis Day in 2015 to promote this competitive sport. Since then, it has promoted and celebrated the day to make this sport more accessible and enjoyable for all. This day coincides with the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. It is an important part of the ideals of ping pong.

ITTF has since developed a Table Tennis for ALL program to promote the sport. “ALL” can refer to more people but also different types of people based on age, gender, culture, and physical ability.
