Many have experienced the recuperative benefits of the Keen-Agers recreational table tennis program after surgery, injury or illness. As well as meeting new friends and exercising, those recovering from stroke and heart ailment, arthritis or joint problems have been greatly aided in their recovery by this program.
The Keen-Agers recreational table tennis program is a growing phenomenon. Since inception, membership in newly formed clubs has increased dramatically, with more and more enjoying and benefiting from the program each week. While all our current clubs are located in Victoria, we know the concept can be transferred to any State and we invite inter-State enquiries about establishing Keen-Agers clubs. We look forward to the day when Keen-Agers touring or on holiday can enjoy common membership at Keen-agers clubs at most major population centres in Australia.
