Table tennis (also commonly known as ping-pong) is a sport in which two or four players hit a ball back and forth to each other with bats (also sometimes called raquets or paddles). The game takes place on a table divided by a net. Players must allow a ball played towards them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opponent's side. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart spin to the ball, which makes its bounce and its reaction on the opponent's bat difficult to predict or return with confidence.

In 2375, Tom Paris organized a ping-pong tournament, in which he and Seven of Nine were playing against Harry Kim and B'Elanna Torres, which was interrupted by a temporal anomaly. (VOY: "Relativity")
