The Table Tennis Club is the newest of our club sports. Steven Slaff (Class of 2006) and recent graduate Paul Park (Class of 2005) founded the club in the spring of 2005. The club raced off to a roaring start, sponsoring the intramural table tennis tournament that drew as many as thirty-two players. The club will build on the momentum of the initial interest, and begin competition with nearby schools such as Case Western Reserve University and the College of Wooster. League play will get underway weekly and will be open to all Oberlin College Table Tennis Club (OCTTC) members and official members of USATT (usatt.org) in the surrounding area.
