Question 1

Who can join the club?

Accepted Answer

All BU students can join our club, regardless of experience! Unfortunately, BU faculty/staff and those outside the BU community are not able to join per BU club sports policy. For those who are unable to join our club, we recommend checking out the Massachusetts Table Tennis and Badminton Club in Waltham, MA, which is open to the general public.
