Table Tennis was played at various locations within the district in the following years before formal competitions were set up including an air force team from the wartime base at Mt Breckan. It was not until after World War II that competition began in earnest across the Victor Harbor and Pt Elliot districts. In June 1949 the South Coast Table Tennis Association was formed and later renamed the Great Southern Table Tennis Association to embrace other districts in the area. Initially a competition began with 2 teams from Victor Harbor, the Penguins and the Seahawks, and 2 teams from Pt Elliot, the Spartans and the Waybacks. Once established other clubs were formed; firstly Greenhills, based at the Toc H camp, followed by Hindmarsh Valley and Inman Valley. Over the years other teams involved in the GSTTA competition were Lower Inman, Goolwa, Currency Creek, Mt. Compass, Eagles and Church of Christ. Venues for Table Tennis have included halls and schools within these towns.
