All that really needs to be said is that one star has an "exposed pecker technique" when he plays ping-pong. Make of that what you will.
And Jigen, Ping Pong Club is an anime about six 8th-graders who are the sole members of the male ping-pong club at their school. However, they pretty much do anything but ping-pong, including playing "Lupin and Fujiko," a game which involves one guy dressed as Lupin chasing around the other guy dressed as Fujiko (with balloons for breasts) and fondling the balloon breasts, and sneaking looks at the girls' locker room.
Only the captain and the assistant captain (and resident bishounen) of the team actually care about ping-pong; two of the others fool around, one of those two fantasizes that he's a Legend of Success whose name happens to be Joe, another of them is a big smelly American (he is large, he is American, and he does have incredible BO, so that's not an ethnic slur or stereotype <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">), and one particular member with a large head always has perverse fantasies.
Meanwhile, the coach of the female ping-pong club seems to have it in for our (anti)heroes. He will go to any length necessary to destroy this unique (one can only hope) circle of friends.
I've only seen up to the third episode, where they get a coach for the club (who happens to be a childhood sweetheart of the head of the club) but since she promised anyone in the club who wins a big tournament an "all access" pass to her person for a one-month period, I think we can imagine it would get mighty kinky <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
