PongPlanet

My 11-year-old son had a wonderful time at the camp, and became super interested in both table tennis and chess. Before sending him to the camp, we just wanted to give him exposure to all sports. We were pleasantly surprised that he was super enthusiastic with table tennis.

Every day at pick-up time, he was reluctant to leave, and I played with him for another hour before he was willing to head home. He coached me and taught me many techniques that he learned during the camp -- clearly he learned so much during the day! After arriving at home, he played pingpong against the wall for another one to two hours until he was soaked with sweat.

He had lots of respect for the coaches and advanced players, which I found surprising, because he was never easily impressed by anyone. The coaches were clearly inspiring.

He also improved a great deal on chess, and had lots of respect for the chess coach. Now he beats me easily in chess games. I am just so amazed how much he has improved.

We plan to send him back for private lessons and for future camps. We are absolutely pleased with the camp.

This camp was NOT as advertised. It is a table tennis camp. They do not “live and breathe table tennis and chess for 6-8 hours per day.” Table tennis is 4.5 hours today and chess is only played if you pay an additional cost for the 3-5pm class. The kids had fun playing table tennis though.

My child liked the camp overall, they taught good techniques of the game. The chess part is additional cost and not 50/50 split for chess / ping pong. Chess is only 2 hrs in the afternoon. My child did complain that at least the 1-2 times they stayed for chess, they never really played with a partner or even on the board. They seemed to be playing games on a drawing board like puzzles.

Program needs more organized activity. My kid likes the ping pong part but afternoon chess camp is a bit chaotic.

Great chess class, my son enjoyed it. Also liked that the PongPlanet team was very good at communicating and responding to my questions.

My 3 year old daughter started table tennies class two months ago at PongPlanet, she enjoys playing. The coaches are very professional and patient, and this class is good for beginners.

Both of my 11 year olds REALLY enjoyed ping pong camp. Neither had played much before but they were both excited to have an in-person experience. At the end of each day they were sweaty and mentioned how much they enjoyed both the table tennis as well as the different drills. What a great program, and a great idea for "distanced" summer camp.

The best coaches and most friendly people for the right prices.

Excellent place for kids to have fun time. My son loves this place and the coach. I will register him next time!

My son (9 years old, beginner) enjoyed it. We came in just to have him try out Ping Pong, and have no idea if this will work out. He liked it very much and we are going to sign up for group lessons after the camp.

Excellent place for playing and practicing table tennis. felxible hours, professional table tennis inventory, very polite personnel.

A very professional ping pong venue. Excellent teachers, good floors and tables, good lighting. If you want to learn how to play (that's what I'm doing) or want to play competitively (I'm nowhere near there yet), this is an excellent place to go to. The staff are competitive pros, but they do a fine job of teaching beginners, as well as coaching competitors.
