About Us

OUR ETHOS

Manningham Table Tennis Club was established in 2012 with the support of the Manningham City Council, the Manningham Recreation Association and Table Tennis Victoria. The primary focus of the club is to promote the sport of Table Tennis and encourage the participation of all members of the Manningham community. To achieve this our club strives to develop an inclusive environment in which players of all ages, experience and abilities are welcome to participate in coaching, social, and competitive Table Tennis activities.


OUR ACTIVITIES

Manningham Table Tennis Club conduct coaching, social and competitive Table Tennis activities for players of all ages and abilities. The club currently operates out of Manningham DISC on Tuesday nights, and Donburn Primary School gym on Thursday evenings.


TUESDAY NIGHTS: 7PM - 10PM

Manningham DISC: 360-368 Springvale Road, Donvale, VIC, 3111.

Commencing on Tuesday nights from 7:00pm, social Table Tennis activities are held at Manningham DISC with opportunities also provided to participate in doubles round robins, and coaching.


SOCIAL DOUBLES

On the last Tuesday night of each month, a round robin social doubles tournament is held at Manningham DISC from 8:00pm. For these tournaments, players are randomly assigned a number and placed into a designated match with a different partner every round for at least 5 matches. Each match is played as the best out of 3 sets. In some cases, depending upon the numbers of participants, there will be some singles rubbers played.

These events are the perfect opportunity to meet our club members, whilst improving your skills during friendly social play. They are a beloved club activity and are suitable for players of all skill levels and abilities from the keen competitor to the backyard superstar.
