GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CTTC:
The Cincinnati Table Tennis Club is open to people of all ages and skill levels.  We are affiliated with the USATT the national organization that maintains the rating system for US players and that selects the members of the US olympic team.  However, the club is not only for serious players who are looking to improve their game (although we are the home for many of the best players in the region and the state of Ohio), but for anyone who is interested in spending time with good people.  We can improve your game, and direct you to where to buy the best equipment. 

The club is a non-profit organization.  A fee of $3.00/night ($2 for Students and Seniors) is required by anyone wishing to play, but your first visit is free.  We currently charge no additional “membership fee”.  All funds go directly back into the club (for rent for the facility, new equipment, etc.)  We currently have 12 “Donic Persson 25" tables, a Newgy table tennis robot, and plenty of barriers for adequate court separation.

Most nights at the club are reserved for open play:  players write their name on our dry-erase board for the table they would like to play next.  Players at each table have 5 minutes for warmups, and then and play a best 3 out of 5 match (11 point games).  The winner generally stays at the table, and the loser signs up again.  We use 40 mm 3 star white or orange balls and try to follow all USATT rules and guidelines.  Most players have their own equipment, but we have a few club paddles that can be borrowed for those who don’t.

We will host occasional (usually 2 per year) “sanctioned” tournaments (click on tournament link above).  (Membership in the national organization (USATT) and entry fees are required for play in sanctioned tournaments- these are where new players obtain their rating, and the ratings of already rated players are adjusted based on win/loss record.  We also have occasional “club” tournaments (where USATT membership is not required and no rating points are exchanged), with small prizes for the winners (these are often unannounced, and usually have no extra entry fee apart from the normal nightly playing fee).  For example, our recent “Turkey doubles” tournament, where the winners took home turkeys for Thanksgiving.  When sufficient interest warrants, we may hold mini-training camps for new players.
