Everybody loves Table Tennis – even Arnold!

Everybody loves Table Tennis – even Arnold!  Every year he visits Table Tennis at the Arnold Sports Festival, walks up to one of the many tables, asks for a racket, and plays with anyone willing to take on the Terminator!  He is such a great sport and loves to interact with all.

This is our 13th year overall and our second year at the impressive new location with over 60 Table Tennis tables on 70,000 square feet under world class lighting.  We remain excited each and every year to be a part of the largest annual Olympic-style sports event in the world.  Table tennis loves the respect gained along with the other 50 sports.
