YMCA LEEDS

Table Tennis

Whether you are an experienced player, a beginner or somewhere in between, we’d love you to join us. All ages and genders welcome.

We play in Leeds Table Tennis League, with 8 teams in all and are always looking to expand those teams. We also have a good complement of people who play for the sheer enjoyment of the sport, well known for developing and maintaining agility and concentration. 

Summer League and Box League

Less formal ways of competing are also on offer. We always put several teams into Leeds Summer League, and we have a 5-division in-club box league, where members compete with each other, and players are promoted or demoted at the end of each month. It’s great fun and offers everyone a chance to meet different players, league and non-league.   

Please get in touch! You will find us friendly and welcoming!  

Please follow our new Facebook page for updates and information about the club.

Graham Burns:  secretary.ymca.lawnswood@outlook.com can provide you with information about practice sessions, coaching and opportunities for competitive play.

As a club, we are proud of our members, some of whom are involved in table tennis at a very high level.

One of our members, Vincenzo Chiarello has recently become an umpire, and regularly travels abroad to officiate at international tournaments.

Here he is pictured below, at the 2025 National Championships in Nottingham, where he is shown umpiring the women’s final, which was won by Tin-Tin Ho.

‘The hardest part is to keep impartial and not to cheer the amazing rallies/points they play!’ he says.
