Every Friday afternoon you’ll hear plenty of laughter and the slap of table tennis balls emanating from Garrett Stadium, the home of table tennis in Invercargill.
This is the regular session for the Ping Pong Parkinson’s group, where the only thing flying faster over the net than the balls is the banter between the players.

Southland sport is powered by incredible women and girls who bring energy, heart, and commitment to every level of the game 💚
