In the 2016 U.S. Nationals in July, AJ won 2 National Championships, in both the Hardbat and the Sandpaper events. In December, AJ defended those titles and won the Hardbat and Sandpaper Championship events at the U.S. Open. You can check out more of the videos from those hard-fought matches on our YouTube channel.

We’ll be cheering AJ on from this side of the Atlantic, and if you’d like to do the same, you can catch the live streaming of The World Championship of Ping Pong on Sky Sports on January 28-29.  GO AJ!!

We’re having a blast introducing our Center and the sport of table tennis to new participants from the Y Guides, a cool YMCA program in the Triangle area. Y Guide tribes, consisting of either Dads and daughters, or Dads and sons, have been enjoying active, weatherproof outings that are fun for all ages. They’re also earning ping pong badges to add to their tribal vests. How fun is that?!

We enjoy providing regular instruction for other private groups, such as the Impact Team, as well. If you have a group (of any age!) that would like to set up regular private group lessons, just let one of our managers know, and we’ll be happy to work with you on options.

Are you a member who loves Triangle Table Tennis? Share the love! Starting in 2017, Triangle Table Tennis members will be able to bring a new, first-time visitor with them any time they come to the Center! Each first-time visitor who is accompanied by a member can enjoy one free introductory visit and open play in our Center.

Are you a member who knows someone who might enjoy a membership at Triangle Table Tennis? Spread the love! Any current member who refers a new member who purchases a pre-paid 3-month membership will continue to earn a $25 gift card as a referral reward, but in 2017, if that new member purchases a 6-month membership, then the current member will instead receive a gift card equivalent to one month of that new member’s membership fee. And between now and Valentine’s Day, if that new membership is a pre-paid membership of 12 months or more, we’ll double the referral reward!

Are you considering a new membership at Triangle Table Tennis? Feel the love! Anyone who purchases a new membership for the first time will receive a gift card equivalent to their membership activation fee. And between now and Valentine’s Day, if that new membership is a pre-paid membership of 12 months or more, we’ll also add one month’s membership fee to the gift card — doubling its value! 

Are you a former member who’s been away? We still love you! Through Valentine’s Day, anyone with a lapsed membership who purchases a pre-paid membership of 6 months or more will receive a gift card equivalent to their membership re-activation fee.

Are you a member who’d like to find more playing partners? We love match-making! Let our front desk know if you are looking for someone to play with, and we’ll do our best to find you a partner. We’ll also be setting up a mechanism for players to directly communicate with each other in first quarter, so stay tuned for more details.

The 2017 Tournament Schedule is on our web site, and registrations are available now for many tournaments.

We’ve rolled out a new incentive in 2017 for players to enroll early for tournaments using on-line registration. We’d like to think it’s a “win-win”… It helps us plan when players use the on-line registration process on our website and get their enrollments in at least 1 month before the tournament date — and in 2017, it helps you, too!  Most of our 2017 tournaments will offer a 10% early enrollment discount for on-line registrations completed at least 1 month in advance. (The Butterfly Cary Cup Championship is slightly different, with greater discounts and lead time requirements.)

We have two of our most popular USATT 4-star sanctioned tournaments coming up in 1st Q. We’ll continue to add registration forms and online registrations for other 2017 tournaments over the next few months, so keep your eye on our Tournaments page, and register early to get in on the competition — and the discounts!

We’re kicking off our 2017 competitions in a big way! The 2017 Triangle Winter Two-Person Teams Tournament is a USATT 4-star sanction level tournament, with over $3,000 in cash and prizes. It has 5 rating level events: U-2500, U-3000, U-3500, U-4000, and Open Teams. Each event other than the Open includes both individual rating limits and combined rating limits for teams, so players can look forward to close competition. Additionally, all events are Round Robin in the first round, guaranteeing a large number of singles and doubles matches for all players. See the enrollment form for more information. This is one of our most popular tournament formats, and there are only a few team slots left at each level. Last call for registrations!

We’re trying a new format in February, specifically for adult players over the age of 40. If you’re over 40, and looking for a competition with other players who can claim the same, this tournament’s custom designed for you! This USATT 2-star sanction level tournament is also an ITTF Tour Event and has over $1,500 in Cash and Prizes!  Saturday has the first rounds of a GIANT Round Robin Main Event, with final rounds of all 4 divisions completing on Sunday.  Also on Sunday are separate Round Robin events for men and women, grouped by age ranges (over 40, over 50, over 60, over 70 and over 80). There’s also a Mixed Doubles event to round out the last day. More details are available on the enrollment form. Early online enrollment discount ends on Thursday, 1/19! Players who enroll using on-line registration before 1/19/2017 can enjoy a 10% discount on event fees, so don’t delay!

This Butterfly Tour Event is a 4-day, USATT 4-star sanctioned tournament with a GIANT Round Robin Main Event on Saturday and Sunday that will have live video streaming by Butterfly for the final matches of the A Division. It also has 7 other Round Robin events (including rating level events, an Open singles event, and a Hardbat event) on Thursday and Friday. Winners will divide a prize pool of over $18,000 in Cash & Prizes & Giant Trophies, with $5,000 of that going to the Division A Champion! This is our most popular tournament of the year. It attracts top players from across the country and the world, and in prior years the GIANT Round Robin Main Event and multiple preliminary events sold out. Those are good reasons to register early, and another is that discounts are available before 2/15/2017. See the enrollment form for more information on how to qualify for the discounts, and get your registration in early because these events are filling up fast!

On 4 other weeks in Summer 2017, Triangle Table Tennis will offer HALF DAY Camps:
June 19-23, July 17-21, July 3
