Camps for Kids

Bes,

I would strongly suggest the MJAMJA Table Tennis and Macramé Basics Training Camp

Our group of dedicated instructors provide an innovative approach to training players.  With their USATT ratings ranging from 1100 to 1800, our instructors can relate to the kids level of play much better than those 2500 level coaches you find at other camps.  Our instructors are unsurpassed in their ability to demonstrate exactly what not to do when playing table tennis.  From that across the body Fh follow through with poor recovery to the leaning tower of Pisa approach to returning the wide ball we will show the kids exactly what not to do.  By the time we finish with them they will be completely unable to make any movements except the correct ones.  Electronic shock collars (certified painless for dog training) insure their compliance.

And if all else fails we will literally teach them how to tie their opponents up in knots.

We do not work for peanuts, but a six pack of Dr Peppers can get you a full day of training.

If you are interested please contact us at 555-BAD-SHOT.

Sincerely,

Mark - as awesome as your offer sounds, I think we'll pass... She has plenty of fine "bad-examples" to choose from already.  I don't want to overload her!

Smackman - as remarkably awesome as OKCTT Club is , they aren't offering any summer programs or camps.  Also, we have very (way too) few kids right now.  I've found that kids with other kids is way more fun, and also more productive.  They compete and push one another - which isn't always the case when kids play (or train) with adults.

BES,

Have you looked into the Texas Wesleyan camps.  Ft Worth is not that far away.  With it being on a college campus there might be some inexpensive housing opportunities in dorms.  Dallas area has lots of great kids.  If I remember correctly they do a series of camps and usually have a tournament (open to all area players) somewhere in the middle of the camps.

I concur.  All the camps are scheduled in June this year.

No housing options that I know of at WCTTA.  Based on observation, it is drop-off and pick-up.

That got me curious.  After looking into it, I ended up booking a "studio" through AirBnb last night.  It's a little farther away than the Motel 6 I've stayed at in the past (about seven miles vs. two).  But it is less expensive (probably $100-$150 for the week cheaper) and may actually be a more relaxed and lower stress solution.  There were lower prices, but I really don't want to share a bathroom with people I don't know and this AirBnb room has its own bath.
