Club Play Format

The Sangamon Table Tennis Club meets every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night from 6:00pm to 10:00pm at Douglas Avenue United Methodist Church. 501 South Douglas Avenue, Springfield, IL (view map). (At the SW corner of Douglas & Governor. Parking is on the South side of the church; go down the outside steps and you'll see us through the windows.)

There is also STTC open play on Mondays 7-9pm at Nazarene Church in Sherman, IL (view map)

For more information about the club, please contact club President Rick Goertz through the Contact Us page.

  • On most nights we usually have an open play format using the challenge system, though a table or two may be reserved for drill practice.
  • Place your paddle under a table to challenge the winner of the current match. The winner must accept your challenge. Table winners also have the option to give up their table if there are no challengers.
  • During play, call a let if a ball from another table interrupts play or otherwise interferes with either player.
  • We play according to the USATT rules (See also the ITTF Handbook).
  • Games are to 11 points, you must win by 2. Matches are usually best of 5 games.
  • Remember to record all your match results on the match sheet each night that you play.

We encourage players of all ages and skill levels from beginner to expert to come play at our club. If you do not yet own a paddle, we have some you can use while visiting the club. Members are expected to bring their own paddles. Balls are provided by the club.
