The Peace and Pong Table Tennis Club has accepted the offer from the Portland Table Tennis Club to be partners beginning January 3, 2024!!!
The Peace and Pong Table tennis Club will continue the same classes and competitions on Wednesdays and Fridays as in the past. However, new 1, 2, and 3-day clinics as well as more 5-day camps will be added to our new home.
Our main reason for moving was to give our players and students a consistent schedule that doesn’t change with school events and last-minute adjustments. The partnership affords our Peace and Pong players with a full-time club, 7-days a week, 10 tables, open play anytime, robot access, tournaments, family events, junior programs, clinics, camps, a lounge room, many new and different players and levels, and a great physical environment. The great lighting along with the red, vinyl cushioned flooring will give the feeling of a fantastic table tennis club.
Peace and Pong at the Portland Table Tennis Club will be an accepting and welcoming site for all styles, levels, ages, genders, and ethnicities. This will continue to be a place of Peace and Pong.
Please come by and experience the fun, friendly competition, and peaceful atmosphere.
Our new location will be 1720 Haig Street SE Portland.
We will keep this spot updated regularly for any new information.
Here is our current plan for classes when we move to the Portland Table Tennis Club on January 3, 2024:
Wednesday 4-5 pm Junior Classes Wednesday 5-6 pm Beg-Novice Class Wednesday 6-7 pm Novice-Intermediate Class Wednesday 7-9 pm 2-Person Team Leagues
