With 28 students taking private lessons and many students taking group lessons, we plan to purchase a very large building in 2016 to host junior programs, private lessons, leagues, and tournaments.

Table Tennis is changing. And as it is changing with new rules, new ball, etc... the players must change with new techniques, better fitness, and other aspects of the game. I realize that I also need to continue to change and continue to improve my coaching skills. In this short article, I would like to share with you on some of the positive changes that I plan to implement in my coaching during the next year.
Scott Badillo (the ironman) currently holds the title of the most USATT tournament matches played in 2014. He has so much desire to perfect his game that he recently moved from Michigan to Akron, Ohio to receve more lesson from coach Samson Dubina. With a full training and tournament scheduled planned this fall, we are anxious to see some good results from Scott. Welcome to Ohio!

They know your every move because they have played against you hundreds of times. There are 2 solutions to overcome these problems:
Check out these events and see who will be attending!
Our tournaments and clinics are almost completely full! If you need to withdraw, you will receive 100% refund prior to the deadline. See whose coming - see player listing below!!!!!
At the club level, long and slow serves are easily attacked with strong loops. World class players also serve long sometimes, HOWEVER, their long serves are very fast as a surprise and well placed. Watch this short video demonstrating various serves. Notice how fast the long serves are.
