The Westside Table Tennis Center is a club dedicated primarily to the fun and development of table tennis. At Westside you can take the sport as seriously as you want:

You can come in with a group of friends or bring a date for an evening of pong. We have a friendly atmosphere and welcome players of all levels.
We enjoy a truly multicultural environment with visitors from all parts of the globe. You can also come alone. There is always someone to play with.
You can rent club paddles and balls, if you don't have your own. Where else in L.A. can you have this much fun for $15 for the whole night?

If you want to improve your skills, you can get organized coaching by Wei Wang.
The Westside TTC is among the few places in the US where you can get direct instruction from a US Champion and Olympian.

Coaching is also available from our Associate Coaches.

Tournament players can come for uninterrupted practice sessions. We do not have a challenge system.

We have a Pro Shop where you can get top quality tournament rackets. Note that rackets available in sporting goods stores are usually
of recreational quality, even their more expensive ones. So come consult us before you buy.

We sell table tennis ball machines, tables, rackets, rubber, balls and accessories.


 

You can come directly from work and change into your sports clothing in our dressing rooms.

HEAD COACH WEI WANG - US Champion, US Olympian, US Hall of Fame

One of the most acclaimed coaches in the US.

She spent the early part of her career as one of the top players of the Beijing Provincial Team. After immigrating, Wei became US Champion and was a member of the US Olympic Team. In Dec. 2002 she was inducted into the USATT Hall of Fame. She is famous for the series of technical articles she has been writing for the national publication USA Table Tennis Magazine. She is the author of the instruction DVD "Table Tennis 101", which was the first such program produced and is still considered the one by which all others are measured. She has been teaching for over 20 years and is known for her uncanny ability to relay technical information in a manner accessible to everyone, which makes quick, solid improvement possible.

Wei has been involved as a consultant in table tennis related movies and TV productions, such as "Forrest Gump", "Friends", "Balls Of Fury", "Rules Of Engagement" and many others.

We also feature Associate Coaches who are not only accomplished National Level players, but excellent instructors.

Come and enjoy this rare opportunity to learn from the best. Wei and our Associate Coaches teach all levels.
