About 20 folding chairs for players and spectators. Restrooms, pay phones, and soft drink machines near the gym. Free parking.

 

• Club Rules

Pay your playing fee before you play (if you are a non-member).

If all tables are being used, select one that has players of about your level of skill, and put your racket under the table to "get in line" to play a best 3 out of 5 games of 11 points.

The winner of a match may stay on the table and play the next challenger. Sometimes, when the club is crowded, players may be limited to staying on the table for a maximum of two wins.

No smoking in the gym.

No re-gluing of rubber in the gym; use the table just outside the north entrance to Gym A.

No profanity. PATTC is a place for kids and families.

Dennis Davis, the Head Coach at PATTC, is in charge of the Junior Coaching Program, which runs on Saturdays and Sundays. He is a USATT National Coach, and the former National Coaching Chairman of USA Table Tennis.
