Group Lessons!
We kicked off our first Group Lesson on Saturday, July 24.  We were lucky to get very quick-learning and attentive students.  I think I learned as much as they did!  I was pleased to get John Noori and Dr. Phil Wright to help me out with a couple drills and demos – thanks guys!!!

We’ll be doing it again on the 31st if we get enough interest.  We’ll be starting at 1:00pm and running until about 2:30pm.  The cost will be $10 (plus normal entry fee).  If he is in town, Winfred will be in charge of coaching – if he is away, you’ll be stuck with Britt.  Depending on the number and relative skill level of the class, we’ll get some additional assistant coaches to help out.  This  Lesson is primarily aimed at new, or relatively inexperienced players and those still working on the basics.  Better or more experienced players who want to work on some of the basics are very welcome.  Please sign up for the Group Lesson at the club.  If this isn’t practical, call or send Britt an E-mail.

Leagues
OKCTT Monday night leagues are active.  League play starts at 7:00pm and runs until 8:15pm (roughly).  The leagues are primarily aimed at new or relatively new players.  This initial League is intended to be strictly a “Fun League”.  Any equipment is acceptable.  No long-term commitments are required.  Show up when you can play, and skip any sessions where you want.

For our first league session, we will only charge our normal club daily fee rate - $5 for adults and $3 for full-time students and those under 18.  In the future we expect to have to add a few dollars to help pay for a league coordinator’s time.

League play will involve breaking players into groups of 4 (ideally), then having each group play a Round Robin – where each player plays every other player in their group.  We will track league results and establish a league rating for each player.  After players are rated, we will group players by rating to ensure that players will be competing against players of relatively similar skill.

Please try to show up by 6:30pm to get registered and to give us time to set up the brackets.

Lessons
We highly recommend that ambitious players get in touch with  our Club Pro, Winfred Addy for lessons.  Winfred is outstanding at teaching the fundamentals of grip, stance, strokes, and footwork.  Getting the basics properly ingrained, and doing so as soon as possible is a very good idea - especially for those wanting to improve fairly rapidly.

 Aside from Winfred, all the board members, and most all club members are willing to help newcomers with the basics.  None of the rest of us are as good as Winfred, but we can, and are happy to help.


OKLAHOMA CITY FALL TEAMS TABLE TENNIS TOURNAMENT
was held on 26 September 2009 @ 9:00 am.  Results are here!

We strongly encourage new players to come to lessons or visit us at the club before buying any equipment.  The pre-made TT paddles in sporting goods stores are nearly useless - especially considering the price.

Please contact Britt or David if you have any questions.  Britt can be reached by E-Mail at bsalter5@gmail.com or at (405)306-7227.  David can be reached at (405) 410-5888.

Vice President:        David Hash
Treasurer:               Linda Piatt

The club no longer provides free TT balls.  Players are welcome to bring their own, or purchase balls from us.  Our Pro-Shop has a pretty good selection of balls available - ranging from 2 balls for $1.00 up to $2.00/ball.
