The bill H. 3820, introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives, declares April 23, 2025, as "Table Tennis Day" in South Carolina. The resolution highlights the numerous health benefits associated with playing table tennis, including improved hand-eye coordination, reflexes, balance, and mental acuity, while also emphasizing its accessibility for individuals of all ages. The initiative is supported by Carolina Pong, a nonprofit organization that promotes the sport in Columbia and has recently revived the South Carolina State Table Tennis Championships after a thirty-year hiatus.
The resolution encourages all South Carolinians to engage in the sport and take advantage of its recreational and health benefits. It reflects a growing interest in table tennis within the community, as evidenced by the activities organized by Carolina Pong, including regular club meetings and outreach events aimed at introducing newcomers to the game. The House of Representatives expresses its delight in this renewed interest and promotes participation in this enjoyable sport.
