What type of equipment and clothing do you need?
Generally you need to bring your own bat. The club has a online shop that sells table tennis equipment (bats, balls, shoes etc) for beginners as well as more serious players and prices can range from $60 for a basic bat with rubber up to close to $500 for more bespoke blades and rubber. Generally the gear you can purchase from sporting stores is Ok to start with but you will need to upgrade to better equipment as you progress.
Clothing, usually shorts and a t-shirt, should be comfortable and allow you to move freely.
General sport/running shoes are okay to begin with. Table Tennis, tennis , squash, or Indoor sport shoes (netball, volleyball) are good choices. Thongs, slides, work shoes and workboots are not permitted due to the risk of injury.
