Hello and welcome friends!

We have had an increase in playing doubles recently. YES! I love it, keep up the good work. 
Saturday morning sessions are kind of slow, 5,6, maybe 8 players a week.  So that's when I lug my Newgy Robo-Pong robot out to the club and let people try it.  If you are interested, stop on by.
Saturdays are more likely to experience cancelations than Tuesday, so please keep an eye on the announcements above, our Google calendar,  or our Facebook page/group.  Check it before you come out.

We were planning a tourment in September, that is on hold for now, things were not panning out as we wanted them.  I will let you know if things change.
Here are a few of our upcoming closures:
Club will be CLOSED on Saturday August 27th 
Club will be CLOSED on Tuesday September 6th. 
Club will be CLOSED Saturday September 10th. 

That's all for now, see you at the club!
Nick

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 through Facebook posts.
