Team Try outs!!!~

by Judy Hugh on Sep.26, 2009

Hi Everyone,

What you have been waiting for is finally here!! Starting next Thursday to Saturday, October 1-3, we will be conducting Round Robins to determine our A, B (Co-ed) and Women’s teams!!

This year, instead of having SEPARATE try outs for A & B teams, we will just have one giant pool for anyone who wants to try out for the Co-ed team, and another pool for the Women’s team. For Co-ed, we’ll take *roughly* the top 6-8, and the next 4-6 will be considered B team. It all depends on how many people try out, and the level of the competition. Same things applies for the Women. At the very least, we need a minimum of 4, so if you want to secure that spot on the team, just make top 4! :)

If you have the SLIGHTEST interest in playing competitions, no matter what your level is, we invite you to come and try out at the very least! You have nothing to lose! :)

**If you’d like to try out, please send back an email to rutgerstabletennis@gmail.com with your name ASAP so we can start planning out draws ahead of time. **

If you are not planning on tryout out, we can’t guarantee that there will be tables available for open play (depending on the number of people trying out), so just be aware that the gym will be pretty filled up next week.

[Note: Try outs are only open to Rutgers Undergrad/Grad Students]

Thank you!

For those of you who haven’t filled out the online Standard Safety Form yet, the url is: http://itms.rutgers.edu/ssps/form_g_input.html (Make sure that you change the “Club” dropdown from Aikido to Table Tennis) Also, please remember to bring your dues!!~  It’s either $25/semester OR $40 for the 2 semesters. It’ll save you the hassle of paying again in the Spring, and plus, that’s a $10 discount right there! :)

Thursday Time Change

by Judy Hugh on Sep.10, 2009

It was awesome to see everyone who came to our first practice tonight! To those who showed up at 7, I’m really really sorry about the confusion, but there had been a schedule change that we were not notified of until I got there. From now on, we will have practice from 7:45 – 9:15pm.

Also, as a reminder, we will be having practice again TOMORROW (Friday 9/11) from 12-3pm, so hopefully you’ll get more playing time then if you didn’t get to play too much tonight.

See you all there!

1st Practice of the 2009 Fall Semester!

by Judy Hugh on Sep.03, 2009

Bring your paddles, your spiniest serve, your A-game, and let’s get ready to RUMBLE!!!

This year the club looks great! We have LOTS of new members and we’re getting an extra day of practice! So it’s official, we are happy to announce that our 1st practice will start next week on September 10th, 2009!

It is a Thursday night, so we will be up in the College Ave Upper Gym from 7:30pm – 9pm. We welcome everybody to join us for the first practice of the 2009 Fall Semester! Bring your paddles if you have ‘em and we hope to see you all there!

* Important – Every year we charge dues for the club, and this year is no different. The fee is $25/semester ($40 for the year, if you join both semesters). The money helps pay for purchases of table tennis equipment for the club members as well as our club coach. Some of the money may be used for organizing club events, recruiting events, advertising for the club, and fundraising events.
