About
Our Club
by President Rod Cowles
The Omaha Metro
Table Tennis club plays at the Faith Presbyterian Church gym, 8100 Giles Road,
La Vista, Ne USA.
(About three blocks East of 84th and Giles, on the NW
corner)
We use the
entrance on the north side of the building. Go up the metal fire escape stairs
on the outside of the building. These lead directly into the gym. The door on your right will be open.
(Just pull the little handle.)
Our website is:
www.omahatabletennisclub.com
Our facility is
heated and air conditioned. The
lighting is pretty good. There are
snack bars and a soda machine available.
Our club is
always open to new members and visitors. In fact there really is no
"membership" per se. All you do is show up
any Thursday or Sunday night, any time. The first night is free! Loaner rackets are available and we sell
top quality three star balls.
Our club has
more than 40 active members. Of course not all come every night. There are
regular attenders and occasional drop-ins. We have an average of 20 people on
Sunday nights and 24 on Thursday nights.
Member ages range from 8 to 78.
We have players
from all levels - beginner to state champions. We generally play winner stays
at the table and you challenge any table you want to play at. You won't have to
sit and wait though, because we have eight tables so everyone is playing almost
all the time. We provide a ball pitching robot, instruction video, and a book
available for check out. For
serious students we offer coaching for a fee.
Our club is more
social than most clubs. We enjoy
playing doubles and you are welcome to join a few of us that get a bite to eat afterwords. We
often car pool to tournaments and get together once a year for a club paid
dinner party.
Come visit us
soon!
Don't forget:
Your first visit is free!
