Sunday - Day of rest and worship
In 2018, the Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy will continue the Thursday night leagues from 6pm-8:45pm and we will be adding Mondays as well. Mondays will be open club play on some tables and mini-group lessons on other tables.
So, why the mini-group classes. First, please understand that table tennis in the US is not very good compared to the rest of the world. There are hundreds of successful training centers in Europe and Asia that implement group classes as their primary means of training. The complaint that many US players give is... we don't get much individual attention in group classes. So, I decided to divide my players up into 4 categories and work in small groups with them. Some of the groups may only have 2-3 players in order to personaize the information. Here are the groups...

In the mini-group classes, each of the players will get plenty of individual coaching. If we have your support and are successful, we hope to continue these throughout 2018. These classes are invitation only. If you wish to participate and were not personally invited yet, please send your request to
tt@samsondubina.com. We would love to have you participate, we just need to make sure that we limit the classes to serious players who want to work hard and train seriously.
