I'm thinking about sending my daughter (10 years old) to a camp or two this summer. I'm looking for suggestions, recommendations, or other brilliant ideas.

The WCTTA camps are excellent. I believe Dan Seemiller is still doing camps. |

Alameda TTC is one of 10 Nationals Centers of Excellence.
Summer Camps are run by USATT National level coach Pieke Franssen. Previously as Dutch Olympic and national team coach Pieke worked with several Dutch players who were top 20 in the world. His players won a number of international medals including Gold in singles and team at the European Championships. More recently, Pieke has coached 3 Alameda juniors into top 10 US ranking by age. Aziz Zarahbin achieved a high raking of #1. His brother Kai achieved #3. Avery Chan achieved a ranking of #6. This month for the second year in a row one of Pieke's young players was selected to represent the US at the North American Championships. Avery won The 2016 LA Hopes tournament, while Tina Chen won the 2015 Western Region Hopes tournament. Our 3 mains camps are listed here: http://alamedattc.org/2016SummerCamps.htm For students over 1000 we have camps all summer long with the exception Nationals week. Please call or email for details on our other camps.

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 J. Arnold Founder and Head Coach MJAMJA Training Academys Specializing in table tennis, macramé, and mime. |

Thanks for all the input - I'm looking into several. Keep them coming!
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

Any camps in North America provide housing for potential out of state attendees? Similar to WSA or one of the Asian counterparts?
Asking because when looking at the camps in NA, i only see the option for drop-off and pick-up. Edited by The Canadian Bacon - 05/02/2016 at 10:05am |

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. Mark

Hi Bes
I'm a coach at Lily Yip Table Tennis Center in New Jersey. We have 10 weeks of summer camp starting in June and are able to provide housing for out of state players which we do frequently at these events. We have 3 ITTF Level 2 coaches, one being 4 time US National Coach of the Year Lily Yip. On top of that her daughter Judy and son Adam were both the top age group players in the USA growing up and are still top players in the seniors. We have a handful of Chinese training partners also and a couple of volunteer coaches who have years of experience helping beginners and young players. If you want more information you can send me a message on here or visit www.lilyttc.com |

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.

I just talked with Nan at WCTTA and she said Air B&B housing in the area is very cheap. |

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. |
