for the first time, so we make every effort to keep the intimidation factor at zero.
You don't have to be good. You just have to want to
play. Come in, ask for Diego or Wei, and we'll make sure
you feel welcome.

The Pasadena Table Tennis
Club has been in existence since 1999.
It is a club dedicated primarily to the fun and
development of table tennis. At Pasadena 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 borrow club paddles at no charge, and you can
buy a bag of 3 balls for $5, if you don't have your own.
If you want to improve
your skills, you can get organized coaching by Wei Wang.
Pasadena and the Westside Club
are among the only places in the US where you can get
direct instruction from a US Champion and Olympian.
We do not have a
challenge system, so you have a free choice of partners.
If you're new, we help pair you up.
When it's busy, we take half-hour turns.
At the Pasadena Club, you can buy top quality tournament rackets, which are not available in sporting goods stores.
We sell table tennis rackets, rubber, balls and accessories.
