Northern Virginia Table Tennis Club

Interested in "checking us out"? Here's what you need to know:
 

	Just stop by; see the schedule of playing times. All meetings are informal, just show up ready to play and pick a table.
	Bring your own paddle (preferably a "USATT legal" paddle, but for informal games anything will do. NVTTC provides the tables and balls.
	Dress to work up a sweat. Either come in workout clothes, or bring a change with you; there are restrooms available on the first floor where you can change.
	You'll probably enjoy the game more if you play against players close to your own level; though you can "learn more" by watching and playing some of the better players on occasion. Settings at NVTTC are informal, but typically the beginner/intermediate level players like to congregate in room 11; while more advanced players head for room 12, with room 10 being an overflow/mixed room. You're welcome to play with anyone in any room however; feel free to move from room to room throughout the evening. In the earlier hours you're more likely to find doubles games going on in room 11 You'll usually find us playing 11 point games. When you enter a room with your paddle, you assume the last place in line (assuming there is a wait). Once you're up, if the games are 21 points, you'll play one game (newcomer always serves first), then switch table sides to take on the next player in line. If the room is playing 11 point games, you will play at least 2 games with the current player; playing the "best 2 out of 3" games, switching sides for each game. After the match is over you will play the next person in line. The server should announce the score before each serve; remember that the server's score is listed first.
	If you like what you see, look for any of the club officers and sign up. $60 for a year's membership  is really a great deal for the playing time you'll get and facilities at your disposal. If you don't see one of us at the club, feel free to call or email us.
