Abstract

Abstract: Nowadays, the Santos table tennis team is considered one of the most traditional in Brazil. Even so, the past of the sport, which was once called pingue-pongue by newspapers, is still a topic unknown in specialized literature. After all, who were the players, clubs and pioneering achievements of Santos table tennis, and what does their trajectory reveal about the city's sports culture during the first half of the 20th century? This work, with a qualitative and exploratory approach, using documentary research procedures, aims to fill these and other gaps regarding the structuring of the sport in Santos, a process shaped by class dynamics and the different roles played by modern sports during the proposed period.
