Table tennis originated in England. /kloc-At the end of 0/9, tennis was all the rage in Europe. However, due to the limitation of venue and weather, some college students in Britain move tennis indoors, using the dining table as a table, books as a net, parchment as a racket and playing around the dining table.

1890, British athlete Gibb brought back some celluloid balls from America as table tennis toys. Several British naval officers stationed in India happened to find it quite exciting to play tennis on a small table.
