Would be nice if we know how many table are there in these places. Too few a table would be a big problem driving all the way down there and just wait for your turn.
Thanks,
Tat
To all players,
Please be patient and considerate while playing at Mira Rec Center due to # of players who wants to play. Please limit your practice as some players got agitated while waiting.

@Tat Wai
You can call.
I would like to know if there is a public-access table-tennis center in the vicinity of Fallbrook/Bonsall. I am a new resident of Fallbrook (moved here 6 months ago) and have been playing table tennis since boyhood. I would say I am a proficient player.
Thanks for a response.

Hi John:
I personally don’t know of anything near Fallbrook, Bonsall. There are several excellent players in Vista. One of them being Tom Alt (760) 598-7027. He has a table at his house. You might want to give him a call.

There are several tables in South bay; how come they are not available?
@John Schechter
How can I contact to you.
I would like to contact to John Schechter.
Does anyone know of a place to play near Oceanside/Fallbrook/Vista?
Repeat of Ivan’s question : It would be great to have a place to play in north county near Oceanside/Vista/San Marcos/Escondido. Anyone know of any? I’ve searched and no luck so far. None of the community centers here have TT tables, I think..
Okay… anywhere in Temecula?
Does anyone know if there is a place to play TT in the College area?
So I showed up at Carmel Valley Rec Center every day last week and no one showed up. I guess no one plays there! Contact me if anyone wants to play there.
Hello Ivan, I just moved to San Diego. I know your comment was made a year earlier. Wonder if you are still interested in playing at Carmel Valley Rec Center.
My rating is around 525, email me if you want to play at anywhere in SD or Del Mar: sandiegokevinross@gmail.com.
@Jerry re place to play in College area: SDSU (Aztec Recreation Center) — when I was a student there ~2005 there was at least one table that would often be set up outdoors, just outside the bottom level of ARC (where the bowling alley is). I didn’t play then so I don’t know the details but it seemed to be free to use, maybe whenever ARC was open and maybe check-outable only by ARC members.
Also, a bit west of there, Triple Crown Pub in Normal Heights has 2 tables (one inside, one outside), no cost to play.

I have a table at my home in Rancho Santa Fe. I’m currently a 910 and would be up for hosting from time to time. djptheman@gmail.com
Does anybody know of any places to play in the far east county like Alpine or farther
Does anyone know of any table tennis teams for youth near mira mesa? Looking to sign my son up as he loves to play
Adams Avenue Rec Center has one table. My boyfriend and I have been playing there quite frequently lately. Helps to bring your own gear. The center is open noon – 8pm weekdays, but is mostly an after-school facility, so best for people like us who work nights and can play noon-2pm, before the kids get off of school. Mark is the attendant and loves to play, so it’s nice to take a partner and rotate him into the action.
My son -12- also wants to have somebody to play with. We are in Carmel Valley. Do you want to arrange some time to let them play together. We can go to Carmel valley community center, Miramesa or Ocean air park.
Could you add the information for the Sorrento Valley club? Thanks
@Bertrand
What is your rating?
I tried to play there once by myself. Let me know when/what time u usually go the doyle rec center? I prefer weekday afternoons (noon-2pm or 3:30pm-5:30pm)

Looking for players to practice on weekends.
I have access to a table in Carlsbad on weekends, and I am probably at 1700 level.
Anyone interested, text me 84399l9674.
Hey guys, theres a table at new venture if anyone wants to meet up. Its the nearest oceanside TT table I could find. Any other ideas though?
Hi Pete:
I think there are some tables at the RB Rec center.
You can drive down to our club anytime and get a pick-up game. Just challenge a table with players around your level.
Or drop me a line before driving down and I’ll be there to play you.
