Have-A-Go for Brain Health

Ready to give your brain a workout? 

This April, TTNZ is inviting everyone to pick up a bat and join our Have-A-Go for Brain Health initiative, aligned with ITTF World Table Tennis Day.

This global celebration is all about fun, friendship and participation.

This is not about being the best player in the room.
It is about laughing, moving, connecting and trying something new. 

Table tennis is known to be a whole brain workout and for good reason.

Every rally gets your brain firing as you:

• Track the ball with your eyes
• Coordinate your hands and feet
• React in split seconds
• Think ahead and adjust your strategy
• Recognise patterns
• Make quick decisions

All while having fun.

Have-A-Go day is for everyone.

Never played before? Perfect.
Haven’t played in years? Even better.
Bringing the kids? Bring them along.
Grandparents? Absolutely.

By joining a Have-A-Go session, you are not only boosting your own brain health and wellbeing.

You are also part of a worldwide movement celebrating joy, inclusion and connection through table tennis.

So grab a friend, bring your family or come along solo and meet new people.

Come for the fun.
Stay for the rallies.
Leave with a smile and a sharper brain.
