Harvard Table Tennis Club
Harvard Table Tennis Club
est. 1982
We exist to provide Harvard-affiliated individuals with opportunities to play table tennis. We have no attendance policy, and players of all levels are welcome! We do some training, some games, some coaching, some tournaments — a little bit of everything to help build Harvard’s table tennis community.
Getting started is easy. Simply sign up for the club mailing list to stay updated and show up at any of the club’s practices (times and location listed below). A club officer will be present to show you the ropes.
Practice Sessions
Practices are held twice a week during Harvard’s academic semesters. Practices are not held during summer/winter break or on public holidays.
