PingPod

I love PingPod. Whether you're a serious table tennis player or are just looking for a fun activity (for the family, or on a date, or whatever) it's for you. That can't be said about most table tennis clubs. If you don't have your own equipment, they have it there for you. And balls aplenty. It's nice not to have to chase the ball after every point. There are league's for all levels of players, and open play events where you can show up and player with others there. There's also a great community on their Slack where you can find others to play with.

Pingpod is one of my favorite places to play table tennis and to find people that also have a passion for it as well. Such a new modern way to Play with all touch less entries and electric ways to keep score.
The events they run are also great and very welcoming, from open play where you meet returning or new people, to the tournaments where you find competitive aspects and passion of Table Tennis. Definitely a place where you should come check out!

PingPod grew during the height of the pandemic and they started with a few different "Pods" around the city.

I later became very excited to learn of a place near Queens.

PingPod in Astoria is a great place to meet people who share the same enthusiasm and interest for table tennis/ping pong. Even if you just fancy a quick game with your friends on a day out, you will enjoy and have lots of fun! You can book tables easily through the app, and it has a large community where you can find people to play with you, coach you, or even learn about tournaments/competitive play.

The facilities are kept clean and safe, at the same time being very innovative with a good blend of current technology (you can play with a robot, keep score by pressing a simple button, or replay a great/fun point you just had).

PingPod continues to expand and I hope to see more places throughout the city. And now it has the capability to open to the rest of the world!

Love ping pod! Such an easy way to have a good time. I love going to hang out and catch up with friends while also being active and trying something different. I have worked with coach Russell a few times and he is the best! He is so good at it and has great tips. He is also very calm and helpful, which is perfect for me as I’m a newbie and still learning.

Can’t wait to go back soon!

Literally this place is heaven on Steinway for teens finally something to kill time in steinway from the comfy sofas and lounge areas to the huge tvs and the two bathrooms/changing room is amazing place was super clean and the lighting and signage make it such a vibe to take pics with. It was pretty cheap to play there for an hour toke 20$ I’m not even complaining this is legit one of my new favorite things on Steinway perfect for groups of 5 or more to spend hours in they even have outlets to use and drinks to purchase in it.
