Greetings Ping Pong fans!

This month we began our first beginner program for kids.  We had to cap the number of participants at twelve.  The ages range from 8 to 11 and they were very enthusiastic the first week.  Be aware that kids may still be playing when the club opens at 6pm, so be kind and courteous to these new players.

I am always looking to tweak and tune the club procedures and activities to give everyone the best experience.  We just started a color coded system.  We start out at CODE GREEN.  During code green, matches are best of five and practice is limited to 15 minutes.  When we exceed 25 players, we go to CODE RED. During code red, matches are best of three, and practice limited to 10 minutes.  So look for the color bar at the top of the waiting list, and the colored cards attached to the net sets at the tables.

Skipping. Keep in mind, we allow skipping when your name comes up on the list.  What does that mean? The player skipping retains their place on the list and allows the next person to play in their place.  But when the next table opens, the player who skipped is up again. So please, don't cross off a player's name when they skip, and look out for skipped names who may have a lot of crossed out players beneath them.

Time is running out to qualify for the GREATEST of CHES-MONT tournament being held the last week of April.  Be sure to report you match wins!

We have several members looking to unload equipment. Rackets, blades, and rubbers.  If you are in the market for some discounted equipment check out our Facebook group or drop me a message. We also have T-shirts for sale. Shirts can also be custom made. See the PongFather for details.

Mark your calendars for April.

  • April 11th: Juniors night with Greatest of Ches-Mont Under 18 event.

Where: 501 Franklin Ave, Phoenixville PA 19460 (Phoenixville Recreation Center)
How much: $5 per night. Cash or Venmo.

Previously Phoenixville Table Tennis Club ran from 2009 to 2015 in Phoenixville and 2015-2020 as Rising Phoenix in KOP drawing players from Exton, Downingtown, Malvern, King of Prussia, Collegeville, Pottstown, and even Princeton, NJ.  On any night we would have between 15 and 40 players. Our friendly atmosphere, regulated playing format, and fair treatment of all playing levels helped us to succeed.

We currently have six tables and supply balls.

What we think makes us successful:

  • We greeted everyone who visited and explained our system
  • We used a waiting list system in which the player "on deck" gets to choose any opponent
  • Play was limited to 2 minute warm and a match, best out of five - OR - 20 minutes of practice using provided timers (or 15 min. if it is really busy)
  • We provided buckets filled with balls, you never have to stop play to retrieve yours, or anyone else's balls.
  • We had a sitting area for players to converse while waiting
  • Active internet presence
  • A variety of periodically scheduled events such as coaching clinics, tournaments, and fun celebrations.

We keep members informed with our email list and Facebook Page and Group.
