Table Tennis/Ping Pong
Our regular play times are Mondays and Wednesdays 4 to 6 pm,
Fridays 1 to 3 pm, Saturdays 10 am to 12 pm. Because of scheduling
conf licts for the Ballroom, we sometimes get bumped into "special
play times," that are updated on the SLCC website, and printed copies
are available on play days in the Ballroom. There is also a touch
screen monitor in the Main Clubhouse Lobby where the schedule
can be brought up. If there are any questions or concerns, contact
Gary Lile at (805) 722-7427, 4lile@yahoo.com, or John Williams
at (961) 489-9737, jgwms.williams@gmail.com. All players are
welcome, the only requirements are laced tennis shoes, and a desire
to have fun, play with friends, and get some excellent health benefits
from a low risk activity.
Over the last several months, this space has extolled the virtues
of table tennis here at SLCC: Healthy low risk exercise, making fond
memories among friends, and opportunities for fun competitions.
The fact is we have all improved our levels of skill playing this sport.
The balls are breaking under the pressure of increased force and
spin. Table Tennis is a low margin sport, barely perceptible changes
in angles, pace, trajectory, and other factors, makes it so much fun
to get to match point. And the competition is heating up. Therefore,
we have decided to re-emphasize our commitment to the USTTA
code of conduct and official rules of play, to keep things fair and
conf lict free. A copy of these documents will be provided during
scheduled times of play.
