A warm welcome to the 100 table tennis athletes who signed up for singles, doubles and/or mixed doubles in your respective 5-year Senior Games age brackets. Several of you already are members of our local tennis club but many will be first-time visitors, especially those from out of town. Please know we will do our best to see that all of you enjoy your time here . . . .whether or not you're able to take home a medal or two.

Here is some information intended to make your table tennis weekend go more smoothly.

IMPORTANT: Before arriving at our SATTC table tennis venue Saturday or Sunday, you must first check in at Senior Games headquarters at the Jewish Community Center, 12500 NW Military Hwy at Wurzbach Pkwy, 78231. You are encouraged to do this either Thursday or Friday, March 22 -23. It may be possible to accomplish this on the same day you're scheduled to play - it's about a 4-mile drive - but best to call 210-302-6867 or 6870 to determine office hours and feasibility. Keep in mind your first event may begin as early as 9:30 AM.

Then, on "your" day - either Saturday March 24 (age range 50 - 69) or Sunday March 25 (age range 70 - 90+), come to the SATTC table tennis venue - Alamo Gymnastics & Fitness Center, 16675 Huebner Road, 78248 - ready to enjoy some spirited TT play.

 

Enter via the main entrance (not the side door) of the Fitness building and check in with Joe Cummings, tournament director, at the table tennis control desk.

Doors will open each day at 8:30 AM with first events scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM.

Bring your own paddle; balls will be furnished.
