Junior Team Programs
What began with just one coach and a few students has grown into one of the most competitive table tennis clubs in the US! We focus on developing well-rounded student-athletes who excel both on the table and in sportsmanship, shaping them into standout individuals. Many of our players have made the National Team or gone on to attend top Ivy League schools! These achievements drive our club's success and create a strong sense of pride and community.

Training is divided into two halves with a break in between. The first half emphasizes form and footwork development, while the second half focuses on match play.
