Play
Table Tennis is a fun way to stay physically fit and mentally active.
Social
Social Table Tennis is played at various standards to cater for your enjoyment. Although you are welcome to attend any sessions, you are required to play within the rules of that particular session.
Tuesday and Friday morning sessions are set aside for beginners and those who wish to enjoy a social day at the basic level.
The Academy has adopted a Social Code for Social Table Tennis that emphasises fun and helping one another.
If you think you might like to play, visit our Clubrooms or telephone during the listed session times. If you come in, wear casual clothes and sports shoes with non-slip soles. If you don’t have a bat, we can lend you one initially.
Coaching
Group junior coaching sessions are run by Bill Oatey O.A.M., on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings on one table during the sessions. If you wish to attend, please contact Bill at the Clubrooms on 8332 3676 during one of the coaching sessions. See Session times for opening hours.
Private individual coaching sessions for children and adults are held in the back room and can be organised through Stephy on 0414 048 728. Stephy is an accredited table tennis coach and represented Malaysia as a junior player.
Competition
The Academy fields a number of teams in the Winter Pennant Competition conducted by Table Tennis S.A. Incorporated. The Winter Table Tennis pennant matches are played on a home and away basis on Monday and Tuesday nights with home matches being at the Clubrooms.
