I m trying to find interest around campus, Anselmo said. I know there are people who want to play. The association is separated into divisions. The two top point leaders in the division at the end of the season then meet for a chance to compete at the national championships. Eastern Michigan paid for Anselmo to travel to the individual national championships this summer.
Table tennis is set up much like tennis at the collegiate level.
One setup includes four singles flights and one doubles flight, and another includes five singles flights with two doubles categories. If the team is formed, Anselmo wants the sport to be taken seriously by the University. The overall goal is to have at least one team compete collegiately, he said. We want to kill the stigma of the supposed sport ping pong. Anselmo has already put flyers out around campus that include beginning practice times.
