The Northern Virginia Table Tennis Club was established in 1989 as a group of amateur table tennis players that meet on a regular basis to practice and play table tennis. Originally the Arlington Table Tennis Club, the club changed its name to the "Northern Virginia Table Tennis Club" in 2005 and created a Arlington County Chapter and a Fairfax County Chapter.

Members meet up to 6 days per week at either the Madison Community Center or Gunston Community Center in Arlington Virginia. The club also sponsors several tournaments per year, with trophies awarded to the top players in each category (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced).

One of the original founders of the club was Jack Marks.

Back in the 1970s the earlier incantation of the Northern Virginia Table Tennis club played at various locations in Fairfax and Tysons Corner Virginia. Probably the most famous member of this organization was two time Olympian and 5 time US national table tennis champion Sean O'Neill.

Sean now lives in Portland Oregon, but has friends and family in the Northern Virginia area and enjoys giving table tennis workshops. Here's a page full of table tennis tips by Sean O'Neill from About.com.
