Put a racket in his hand, and Matthew is a happy
guy. From Tennis to Badminton to Pickleball
he spends most of his week just trying to not screw
up his technique going from one sport to the other.
What he loves about Table Tennis is coming out to play
hard, get challenged, hang out with great people, and let everything else
in his week fade away to let an orange plastic
ball become the most important thing in the universe
for a few hours.

I live in Auburn and have been playing table tennis for a long time. Besides the exercise, I enjoy the game since it provides the opportunity to “Crush” the ball. Aslo enjoyable is the need to often react without thinking. I also enjoy snow boarding, mountain biking and antique textiles.

I live in Nevada city and have been playing Table Tennis for 4 years. I find that one of the factors in improving my game comes from playing the very different styles of many of my opponents. I also enjoy baseball, soccer, softball and cycling.

Hi this is Debraj Ganguly. To avoid gender confusion (from being called Debra J Ganguly), I go by 'Dave'.
I am a material science engineer turned Director of IT Marketing .... but my passion with materials makes me a perfect table tennis EJ (Equipment Junnkie). yeah feel free to ask me, read my online reviews on table tennis rubbers and blades.
Playing table tennis since I was 13 ... with a brief pause of about 20 years :) . Lucky to have trained under a national coach in india, but didn't muster enough skill up to put them into action and beat the superb ATTC players. Hope to reach 2000 rating, within next 25-30 years. :) While I play in many clubs, ATTC is awesome, ....the best managed, and the friendliest one.

I was born and raised in Oakland, Ca and now live in rural unincorporated Placer County above Auburn.
I started playing table tennis at the recreation center at a young age and the age of 49 (which I have been for less than 24 hours at time of this writing) I am still playing table tennis at a city recreation center, only this time in Auburn, Ca. I moved up here in 2003 with my wife, 2 sons, 2 dogs and 7 indoor cats to engage in one of my favorite hobbies - fishing. Most of my leisure time is spent either fishing, working in the yard where I raise Xmas trees (for fun, friends and family) or doing things with the great new friends we've met up in the area, many from the table tennis club.

I am a two year resident of Auburn. After 25 years, including a 20 year break, I am still trying to successfully return loops. It has been a great pleasure to meet the Auburn players and restart my game.

I am living in Auburn and have been playing table tennis for a little longer than two years. I enjoy the game because it is such a good exercise for both the body and the intellect. I enjoy the Auburn club because the members of all skill levels are great to play with and we have such a nice place to play. I also enjoy art, softball, soccer, swimming, writing, reading, studying and dancing.

I live in Fremont and have been playing on-and-off for many years.
I mainly like the game because of the speed. A great thing about the Auburn club is that it’s air conditioned in the summer. I also enjoy basketball and badminton.
