My name is Barry Carter and I’m staying in Yuma AZ for the winter. Would it be possible for me to visit your club some Sunday in the near future? I’ve heard a lot about the San Diego Table Tennis Club and am excited to see and play there. My USTTA rating is 1818 and I’m from Michigan.
Is it possible to get a contact and phone number? My number is 517-449-3931.
Thanks for the help. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Barry:
My name is Mark Adelman and I’m the Chairman of the board of the San Diego Table Tennis Assn. Our Sunday hours are 12pm to 4:30pm. I have spent many years in Yuma and own a lot there in the foothills on 35th St.
My phone number is (619) 520-7575.
Hi! I have a 9 year old son who likes table tennis. He has only played a few times, but bought a table with his own savings. Are there young boys or girls who come to the round robin or youth coaching sessions? What ages come to play? My son seems talented to me, but I think all children are talented to their parents and honestly he’s only picked up a paddle for a week. However, he is way better than me and I cannot play with him (not necessarily saying much–believe me!). He is a ranked “regular” USTA tennis player, but we don’t even know the real rules of table tennis. We did buy a book! 🙂 Thanks for any advice! Holly
@Holly
Hi Holly:
My name is Mark Adelman. I am the Chairman of the Board at the San Diego Table Tennis Assn. We are proud to have the best Table Tennis Club in the country. We are equally proud to have a Former World Table Tennis Champion along with his wife coaching our Junior Players at the club. You can come to the club most nights and observe the junior players working out with their coaches.
The round robin is on Thurs. night and starts at about 6:30. The club opens @ 4:00pm so you have plenty of time to warm up before the round robin starts. Your son will be assigned a rating and will play in a group that should be close to his playing ability. His rating will go up or down depending on how he plays and finishes.
The only day we don’t play is Wed. Mon. we Open @ 5:30, all other weekdays we open @ 4pm. Sat. 9am. Sun. 12pm.
If you need any other information you can email me @ jomar47819@gmail.com.
When are we going to start seeing these at the club? 🙂

Are there paddles available for newbies to use?
It strictly BYOP, bring your own paddle. You can get cheap ones at Big 5 or for a more advanced paddle, some people at the club sell them.
I am a beginner, can I join?
@Micahel Sure, come on down! Or just scroll up, hit Register, then join online.
Good Afternoon,
My name is Zach Kover and I am considering joinging your league, however I have a few questions. How do you class up or group up new members to the club. I am fair at the game I would say, but my main intrerest in the club is to become a better player and learn new techniques from more experienced players. Would I be able to play in the tournaments with players closer to my experience level, or how does it all work I guess, is what I am asking. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Zachary Kover

How close is your club to the San Deigo airport? We are flying in from Chicago on Saturday? What are your hours on Saturday and Sunday?
thanks very much.
Hi, I’m traveling to San Diego for work. I’ll be down there a minimum of one week and max of one month. Do you have any reciprical rates for other TT clubs? I’m currently play in the Kitsap County TTC. We’re having a 4 star tourney in Sept and i want to learn more and stay fresh. I enter at 1200 rating level.
Hello,
Several of us would like to play in the upcoming August tournament. Do we have to be SDTTA members at the time of registration?
Thanks.
@Allen
You are very welcome to play in the August tournament. Non SDTTA members are required to pay the $7.00 registration fee in addition to the event fees. If you do not already have a SDTTA or a USATT rating you can play but will not be allowed to advance in the rating limited events. You can advance in the Open and age limited events only. Hope to see you there.
We are less than 10 minutes from the airport depending on traffic.
California Table Tennis Association is looking for serious table tennis players. We are also looking for those who would like to prepare for a chance to enter our $10,000 tournament.

I am wondering what’s the name of Former World Table Tennis Champion in the club, if you don’t mind. What’s the hourly rate to take ping-pong lessons with hime?@jomar47819
Hi,
I am involved in an ministry event at my church that is sports-themed and we have chosen table tennis as our theme for decorating our table. We are hoping to get a supply of TT balls and are wondering if your organization might have used balls you could donate. We would need to pick them up by 9/11 ideally. Would you happen to have some, upwards of 20 would be great!
Thanks.
I wish to join your club in the future in handling kids and cadets training. My professional experience in coaching honed by three ITTF expert’s Polona CEHOVIN SUSIN (SLOVENIA), Miran KONDRIC (SLOVENIA)and ROMAN PLESE OF CROTIA help me a lot to developed my coaching aspects.
More Power!
AND I AM STILL OPEN in learning some new modern training strategy.MORE POWER
@California Table Tennis Association

Do you have coaching/classes for adult beginners?
Thanks
Hi,

Hello,
I am visiting San Diego between 01/15 thru 02/26 next year on work
I used to play for newport news table tennis club a year and a half back. my evenings are free, so I want to play during those times at the club. What is the membership fee for becoming a short term member? What are the timings on weekdays and weekends?
Thanks!
Hi Mark,
I am visiting San Diego for next two weeks for work and would love to play table tennis during weekdays in the evening. Do you offer a short term membership?
Is there a phone number to call.
Thanks,
Nabeel
Hello,
I’m looking for a fun activity for my staff party.
is it possible to have 3-4 tables one afternoon / evening to do a mini tournament?
Hello, I am very interested in playing table tennis.
I came to San diego to study English, so I go to Embassy CES, language school which is in? downtown.
I want to be a member here, but I don’t know how.
It is really hard to read all the rules..
I am 22 years old now, so I am an adult, so, to be a member, I should pay 50 dollars right? ( Can I get discount or something, if I have Embassy card?)
But,I don’t have any credit card, I only have cash, so..
Can I pay 50 dollars by cash?
And is it okay to join even if I am not American?
Hello!!!
I will be in San Diego for the first two weeks of April our spring break. I would love to come by and play a couple of times. Table tennis is a new sport for me. I play with some players on Vancouver island that have a rating in the USA of 1100-1300. I do not have a USA rating. I am 59 and I am enjoying learning a new sport. Would I be able to find players at this semi-beginner level. When I come to the balboa center how does one mix in with the local players. I have played and coached badminton at the equivalent of the state level. However I am discovering there is a whale of a difference between the 2 sports. Thanks

I have recently relocated to SD and would like to join the club. How do I register with the USTTA?

Do you have a contact number that I can call?
My mom wants to join the membership. What is your hour?

Hi there, I am looking into joining sdtta and in my case I would show up by myself to play. Are their people that usually show up alone and are looking to join a game? Let me know. I will most likely show up and see if that’s the case. I would not like to interrupt anyone. I just started playing about 4 months ago and have found that I definitely like table tennis and would like to improve my game.
Thanks…
