We give a sufficient condition for the girth of finitely generated groups to be infinite by using a technique to prove a so-called ping-pong lemma or table tennis lemma. We show that some convergence groups and subgroups of mapping class groups satisfy the condition. Therefore the girth of each of them is infinite.
