Post subject: Table tennis club

Hey...just wondering if there are any table tennis club like in Europe or the US, where people join the club and have opportunity to play with each other.

Coming to China, country of the world champions I was really expecting to have more opportunities to play this wonderful sport.

It seems that the only way to play TT is to find one partner, rent a table and play...

But then until now I only found people with much lower level then me, and this solution is becoming quite boring...

Any good suggestion?

Thanks and Happy New Year !!!!

At the club where I play coaching is only 60-90RMB/hour. I'm looking for regular table-tennis players to play with too. If anybody is interested in playing, let me know.

HI!

It's so great to have found this thread. I've been wanting to find out if there are any place and nice people to practice with.

I've lived in a Hefei City, Anhui PRC for a year and found a rather disappointing number of locals who play decent table tennis. But I met one who plays really well.

I'm moving to Shanghai soon, and once I get settled, it'll be nice to meet people with whom I can play table tennis.

If you guys arrange some kind of table tennis gathering (scheduled end of this month or later), please let me know by PM.

Grazie!

Ciao

Hi,

I'm also looking for new people to play with, but I warn you, I'm not brilliant just enjoy the game and maybe a few beers after.

I live at the Yanlord Riverside Gardens in Changning which have a couple of tables you can hire easily.

If you want to get in touch, either pm me or send me an email on jasondixon02@hotmail.com

Cheers, Jase

I used to coach high school students while I play for my university varsity. I always wanted a PT job like giving table tennis lessons to youngsters (and even some not so young anymore).

If you know a place, have a racquet, call me (when I get back), or send me a PM.

Hi, I am a local girl. I'd like to find people to play table tennis with too, because I used to play with my dad, but now he is becoming pretty lazy. Plus that's my dad, he is no fun and complains a lot. All my female friends are either not interested or play much worse. Sad

My level is not very high either, but I enjoy playing very much. Haven't played for a while, but will pick it up very quickly after a few rounds.

It's relatively easier for me to find places to play, because I can read Chinese. It's good to make friends too, so let me know if you're interested. Please either pm me or send me a mail on izzie_liu@hotmail.com

Cheers,

Izzie.

I can play between 8 to 10 during weeknights, or 7 to 9 on weekdays, and I'm mostly free all weekends.

Just tell me where. I'm so wanting to spin and smash again.

I played at the place near the statium right near the giant shop today. But we had to wait 30 minutes for a free table and it was only 2 meters to the back. So it was good to play again but the place sucks.

Hi guys, I played with Ifrin last Tuesday, this place really sucks but the game was fun. However found another spot, near Stadium at Nandan Road, check the link http://www.sportshotel.cn/clubt_1.php

Maybe we can arrange a regular meeting there twice a week, cost 40 RMB per table and hour and looks not to bad.
Anyone interested to play Saturday 1-3pm?
