Your table tennis club?

[mahomedy13]

I heard few years ago there was a full time centre - available 7 days a week.
Do you know what happened to it?

No idea.I think it is shared with other sports.But maybe im wrong.

I was told, that sport centre is now in ruins, not used by any sports any more.

Apparently it was the only 7 day TT venue in SA ever

Durban Youth Centre opened by Nelson Mandela in 2003

(I thought it was called Nelson Mandela Youth centre-sorry for that)

Then we defiantly talking about 2 different places.
The one I was talking about is more than 10 years ago for sure.
I was told, it was a 7 day a week centre, and now in ruins and occured by squatters.

Apparently the club/organisation broke down and didn't continue any more.

How I know, is because I asked if there is any centres that opened more than 4 days a week, and was told in Durban there was once was. I think it was around 10 to 20 years ago.

Any ways, the fact is, no full time centrea in SA, and the one I am at, is likely one of fews that is opened 4 days a week.
A sad reality that there is no proper venue in SA that allows players to train 7 days a week.
I also wonder if there is a point to make such venue possible, as maybe investment of such money will make more sense in other areas of life.

The one you are reffering to is in Durban CBD-and yes,unfortunately it is in complete ruins.If you look at that building you will never think a tt club existed there.

 

[Belisar]

wow, sounds like a professional place
You said the name has Joola in it, is it Joola sponsored?

Yes.

Joola provided the equipment (tables, nets and surrounds) in a deal with the club.

We then had some German coaches over for a week running a training camp (including Jorg Rosskopf) and Chen Weixing was over for a few days of coaching and demo.

bumping this thread to highlight the New York Indoor Sports Club again!

We are testing a live video feed for a USATT 2-star sanctioned tournament today, starting at 10am EST. There is no open event, but the highest event (U2450) is scheduled to start today at 2:30pm EST. At the moment it is just the raw video feed from an ITTF-TV-like angle with no scoreboarding/commentary/etc, but in the future as NYISC hosts larger tournaments, we will integrate more features to the live feed!

If anyone else has experience streaming live (table tennis) video, feedback is appreciated!

 

[vagmor]

You guys live in heaven, I m so jealus of you...

 

[elrigo99]

Yup, I train in an elementary school's gym with old wood floor, max 4 tables and cannot go more than 1 meter away 'cause you'd bump into the wall. At least I have a good trainer lol

That is one awesome club! It looks like you guys have the live streaming sorted well right? Looks good to me. I used ustream to live stream the world record I did in March. That was a good software, but I believe youtube is the best way to go about it.

The English Table Tennis Association used live stream at their National Championship event, if you send them an email they may be able to give you some pointers.

Great club again

My club is STK Banja Luka

 

[TTHopeful]

It would be good to have Chinese users here to see which clubs they play in...

 

[niklas199570]

I play in a little club in Germany with 30 members, womens and men's

 

[AhsanCH]

Our TT club has five tables in one hall and 4 tables in other hall..

 

[John3y]

Hey Tony I am at NWU Potch Campus RSA... Was chairman but term ended now; the size its decent for 3 tables roof is about 4 meters high in some places much higher in other spot, the problem we have is no barriers and budget doesn't allow for such although that problem hopefully gonna be sorted out this year coming. Anyways enjoy! Chat later

We have just taken delivery of four brand new competition ready tables which brings our total to 12 competition standard tables.
This bad boy being the daddy of them all

We train in a High School sports hall ( pictured above)
Almost forgot our club is called the Joe Wilson TT Club we play in Motherwell, an industrial town roughly 15 miles east of Glasgow, Scotland
Ive been a member for just over a year and i can honestly say this is the friendliest club I've ever been in.
Kudos to Alan who runs both Tues (all players) and Thursday (adults and junior league players.
A selfless worker for the good of the game in our area.

i dont really know any facts but we have 4 tables which is enough because there is 20 people all together 10 people which r from the age 7-13 which train from 4-7 and 10 people from the age 14+ which train from 7-10 seems fair but we get better coaching because we r younger

I forgot to add, this table was used at the 2014 commonwealth games 😉
