Group Lessons

Eola Community Center began offering group table tennis classes starting in June of 2012. These classes continue to this day and are offered on Saturdays from 9 – 10 am (Beginner session) and from 10 – 11 am (Match Play session).  The classes are listed in the park district catalog as ‘Table Tennis Instruction’.  The classes cost is $80 for Aurora residents and $120 for non-residents.

In July, 2018 Adult only classes were offered from 11 am to noon at a cost of $100/$150 for Aurora residents/non-residents. The 8 week sessions classes are offered on following dates:

2021 Summer Session

Players ages 6 and up are welcome.You may bring your own paddle but we also have several practice paddles if you are not sure if you like the sport and don’t want to buy one yet.  We will use a table tennis robot and multiple ball training system to speed up skill development. We will not play any matches – only practice.

The Beginner class would teach proper paddle grip, stance, footwork, basic forehand and backhand strokes, basic forehand serve.

The Match Play class will get more into various serves and serve returns, forehand and backhand push. If you want to try your newly gained skills come to our regular open play times on Friday or Sunday or play at a club near you.

The adult class will cover both beginner and more advanced techniques depending on skill level of students simply because we are limited to 1 hour to accommodate both groups of students.  If you look for more personalized training to fix your technique please consider private lessons.

If you are looking for a good book which explains the techniques, I would recommend the following book – “Table Tennis Steps to Success“. It’s the best book on table tennis that I know of. Purchase this book if you would like to study the game of table tennis.
