The Fort Walton Beach Table Tennis Club practices on Tuesdays from 6:00-9:00 pm and on Saturday mornings from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm at…
 
The Hedrick Community Center
132 Jet Drive
Fort Walton Beach, Florida 32548
 
We currently have five Butterfly tables, a great robot training aid, and a roster of 25.  Most players hold USATT ratings;  several are rated as high as 1850.  We welcome all players who are serious about their game. New players are requested to bring their own paddle; Butterfly training balls are provided. Sportsmanlike behavior is requested – and expected. First time visitors play free; practice sessions thereafter cost $3.00 because we have to pay rent. Please use MapQuest or Google to find exact directions.
 
For more information, contact our club president, treasurer, and chief bottle washer, JJ Jordan, at jjjhome@cox.net .
