This weekend, the South Park Table Tennis Club and the Pittsburgh Oakland Table Tennis Club join forces for the region’s first Amateur Ping Pong Championship. Chip Coulter — tournament director and half of an eight-time state-champion doubles team — talked to us about the game, via email. WHAT KEEPS YOU PLAYING? A player [can] improve [over] almost their entire life. It is also a gender- and ability-neutral sport. Virtually anyone can beat anyone. Watch out for those wheelchair players and the 16-year-old girl that lives down the street! ANY TIPS FOR NEWBIES? The most important [thing] is to move your feet. Most people just stand at the end of the table and tap the ball back in play. If you move around, you will play much better and get some good exercise. 9 a.m. Sat., Oct. 26, and 9 a.m. Sun., Oct. 27. Home Economics Building, Buffalo Drive, South Park. Visit www.pittsburghtabletennis.com for information.
