Last Month's Highlights

Jimmy brought in his church club, Trinity Christian Church of Greater Philadelphia, to challenge us. Each player played three matches of exactly 3 games and each game was worth 1 point. Then we had two Golden Games. TCCGP won 70-30. Our team was sourced from the bottom up. I plan on inviting them back soon sourcing players from the top down!

Outside tournaments

Rallyspin.com holds events in Middletown PA. Shata won the U1400 and Jameson the Open at the Rally and Spin Showdown August 15th.

Upper Darby hosted a handicap event August 4th, Janel came in second. They also now have a Greatest Ever Doubles Champions flag! Go try and take Ned down!

Girish, current leader for our Speedrunners (28) and GEDC (43) flags challenge. Took Saturday off to not only let some of us catch up to his totals, but to go cause some havoc in New York. Winning the U1600, U1700, and taking second place in the handicap tournament.

Upcoming Events

The Greatest of Phoenixville Table Tennis Championship will be held 10/28/2025. This event is for those who live, work or go to school in Phoenixville. (No Girish, if you remote work from Dunkin Donuts, that doesn't count!). The open events requires players to qualify first by winning six matches against six different people at the club between now and the event. Report your wins here. If there are enough participants there will be doubles, ladies, juniors events as well. Only residency restrictions will be required for those events.

Battle of the Ages begins 9/28/2025. We split the club with those born before 1983 and those born anytime after. Players are teamed up and face each other earning points for their team. Past results and photos can be found here. Sign up for Spindex to track your Spindex Rating.

Kids group coaching has been extended to Sept 15th. After that we can discuss our options going forward. Details here. That's also where you can learn about our one on one coaching for kids and adults.

Playing at the Phoenixville Recreation Center since April 2022. 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 ten tables and supply training 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 is managed. Table time is rotated fairly and continuously.
• 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.

• When a player arrives, he adds himself to the bottom of the playing list.
• Each player waits his turn.
• When your name moves to the top of the list, it is your turn to play. You may choose to do one of the following:
  --ask another idle player to play a match,
  --ask three other players to play a doubles match,
  --ask another idle player if they want to practice.
  -- delay playing (if he's still tired, or wants to wait for someone who is already playing). 
  --If a player delays, it's the next player in line's turn.
• All players going to the table move their name tags from the "waiting side" to the "at the table side".
• A player who is asked for a match may decline the invitation.
• Players who chose to practice will start a 15 minute timer at the table. ***
• Matches are first to 3 wins, each game is to 11 points, and the service switches every 2 points.. ***
• When a match or practice is over, ALL players leave that table, return to the waiting area, and add their names to the BOTTOM of the waiting list.
• When there are a large number or people waiting, please pick someone else who has been waiting and who has not just come off the table.  Or consider asking three players for a doubles match.

***When the player count exceeds 26 we go to CODE RED :Matches are EXACTLY 3 games OR a timed practice of 10 minutes.
Below 26 we are CODE GREEN :Matches are best 3 out of 5 OR a timed practice of 15 minutes.
Doubles matches will remain best 3 out of 5 during red and green.
