Hello,

I've been looking for places where I could join a community of ping pong or tennis players, or both, but I've had no luck. I'm not looking for a team, or anything committal, just somewhere to go after work to play a few games and maybe meet some new friends. Is there anything out there like that?

The Washington DC Table Tennis club is great: https://wdctt.com/

I concur. I have frequented WDCTT, and they are fantastic. Their league nights are fun.

I had a great time at spin, it’s an underground ping pong bar located in downtown dc

Isn't that mostly "bring-a-friend" and/or reservations only?

People only play pickle ball these days. There's ping pong tables at Comet in upper NW. Maybe you can find a club up there

Something about the rise of pickle ball really annoys me lol. Looks fun though

I don't even know what it is. Just looks like lazy tennis

Seems like tennis for people with no endurance and ping pong for people without reflexes.

For tennis there really isn't an option to go to courts where people will be hanging out and inviting people there to join. Most courts are super busy so those kinds of things need to be planned in advance.

That said, this facebook group is reasonably active and I know people regularly find other people to hit with through it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dmvtennis

No respect for pickle ball?

Tennis: you can sign up for free “classes” (mostly pick-up games) with DC DPR: https://dpr.dc.gov/.

Continental Lounge in Rosslyn has a couple of tables, and there’s an outdoor table in Freedom Park.
