About Us

The Princeton University Table Tennis Club is committed to promoting table tennis as well as providing an environment where table tennis enthusiasts can meet and play. Players of all levels and experience are welcome in the Club. If you have not played in the Club before, simply show up at practice during one of the times below.

We play in the Group Fitness Room in Dillon Gym. Practice times for the spring semester are as follows:

Wednesday

9:30 PM - 12 AM

Friday 8 PM - 12 AM
Sunday 3 PM - 6 PM

The gym closes for entrance at 10:45 PM on weekdays, and at 8:45 PM on weekdays during reduced hours. You can always check the current schedule at http://www.princeton.edu/~recsport/facilities. The phone number for the Aerobics room upstairs is (609) 258-3529.

We usually use up to five tables at practices. A table tennis robot (Newgy Robo-Pong 2040) is available as well.

Membership dues for the whole school year are currently $10 for students, $15 for faculty/staff, and $20 for outside members. You can play up to three times for free before having to pay.

We are actively competing in the NCTTA Mid-Atlantic Division this year. Players for our team are selected at practice. If you are interested in competing, send us an e-mail and show up at practice!

Note for non-University members: Currently, Dillon Gym policy requires that you pay an entrance fee or purchase a facility pass to enter the building. You might not always be asked to pay the fee. If you are asked to pay an entrance fee at the front desk, the best deal is $5 as a guest of a student. Please contact us for more information.

If you have any questions or want to be added to our mailing list, please e-mail us at puttc@princeton.edu.
