The smartest health habit you've probably never considered 🏓

When people think about getting healthier, they usually think of the obvious things.

🏃 Running
🏋️ The gym
🚴 Cycling

But what if one of the smartest health habits isn't the one everyone talks about?

What if it's the one that challenges your body and your brain at the same time?

That's what makes table tennis different.

Every rally demands quick thinking.
Every point improves coordination.
Every match teaches problem-solving, focus, resilience, and emotional control.

You're not just exercising.

You're making thousands of decisions in real time.

While many people see table tennis as "just a game," those who play know better.

They know it's a workout that keeps you moving.
A challenge that keeps your mind sharp.
A community that keeps you connected.

That's why table tennis players are different.

They've discovered something many people overlook.

A sport that doesn't just help you live longer...

It helps you live better.

So the next time someone asks why you play table tennis, just smile.

You know something they probably don't.

💙 If table tennis has made you healthier, happier, or helped you stay mentally sharp, share this post and let more people discover one of the smartest health habits they've probably never considered.

Ely 1 were the sole representatives for the club in the top division this season and finished in 5th place. Comfortably clear of relegation their standout win was arguably the 8-2 victory over Burwell 1 in March. However, they faced stiff opposition throughout the season with St. Georges 1 ultimately taking the league honours, only losing once all season.

The club had four teams competing in the second division and Ely swept the top four spots in the league. Ely 2 were division 2 winners, unbeaten throughout the season, also winning the handicap cup beating Haddenham 5-1 in the final at the end of March. Two new players, Graham Fairhill and Daniel Gubala, added some significant firepower to a team with experience of playing in the first division last season. Ely 4 took second, their only losses coming to the league winners and it was great to see some individual improvements within the team. Ely 3 came third, much of the squad used throughout the season with two players returning to league action after long layoffs. Like the 3’s Ely 5 had a rotated team for a large part of the season, despite finishing second from bottom they had some great individual performances and wins throughout the season. Well done to all the players and teams involved.

This season the club only had one team in the Cambridge league in the second division. Ely 1 finished in second place only losing three times with a seven game unbeaten run stretching from the beginning of November into the middle of January 2026. A total of eight players featured for the team during the season, with Cris Minu the standout for the team making 39 appearances and increasing his win rate % from last season. Daniel Gubala also made his debut in the league, performing well over the season supported by his team mates. Well done to the team and all the players involved.

The Ely and District Table Tennis League gave a small donation on behalf of our local clubs. We hope the centre gets back up and running as soon as possible.

Eli Baraty has vowed to rebuild his eBaTT club after a devastating fire destroyed their London base.
