This Community Service Program aims to improve the knowledge of students at MTs Al-Falah about table tennis as a sport that supports physical fitness, motor skill development, and the formation of sportsmanship character. The background of this activity is based on the still limited understanding of students regarding the history, basic rules, basic techniques, and benefits of table tennis in daily life. The implementation method includes a preparation stage, socialization through material delivery, demonstration of basic techniques (grip, stance, footwork, service, forehand, and backhand), direct group practice, and evaluation using discussion and question-and-answer sessions. The activity was attended by MTs Al-Falah students using an interactive and participatory learning approach so that participants gained learning experience both theoretically and practically. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge from an average of 61.8% to 89.2%, an increase of 27.4%. In addition, 91% of participants stated that they were very interested in learning table tennis further. Thus, this socialization activity provides a positive contribution to introducing table tennis in the school environment while supporting the development of an active and healthy lifestyle culture for MTs Al-Falah students.
