Services at the Club
CT3 is the most active and growing table tennis (aka ping pong!) club in south Austin, reaching the surrounding central Texas areas. We offer a variety of services to players of all skill levels. Our club is not only a place to have fun, but also to learn and improve your game. We believe every single player benefits from such growth, both mentally and physically, no matter what their level or goals. It's the foundation of a healthy and active lifestyle!
Play Sessions
We are open several days per week for open play, meaning anyone can come and join us to play and have fun! During open play, members and visitors are welcome to play at any table that has an available spot, with anyone they choose.
The base cost for an open play session (of any length) is $10. If you have an active membership, additional play session purchases (beyond those included in the membership) are discounted to $8 each.
This amount is payable in cash (for visitors), or via debit/credit card in your PlayCT3.com member account. We do not yet support other digital payment types.
"Only Rule"
The only rule we have for open play is: if there's anyone waiting to play, please make sure you monitor your time on the table and every 15-20 minutes, offer up a spot to someone who's been waiting.
Typical sessions will have some periods with waiting players but plenty of other time where there's nobody waiting. You can play as long as you want, and take breaks whenever you want, as long as you follow the only rule.
If you come with another player (such as a family member or friend), and want to play only with them, you're welcomed to do so as long as there's an open table and nobody waiting. Otherwise, please follow the only rule. We do not currently offer table reservations, but that may become available in the future.
We ask that children 10 and under be supervised by an adult at all times while at the club.
Memberships
Membership at CT3 offers a variety of benefits, and we encourage all regular players to consider supporting the club with a monthly membership. Especially if you think you will play more than 3-4 times in a month, it's likely better financially to consider one of our three membership levels:
-
BASIC membership:

- *Free play session (facility access: $8 value!) with each additional, unbundled purchase of private or group lesson

Unused membership-included play sessions, and membership-bundled private lessons, generally DO NOT roll-over, and are forfeited if not used during the membership term. However, if you "early activate" an upgraded membership level, any unused services in the previous term will roll-over to the upgraded membership term.
Note: A bundled lesson credit is considered used (not forfeited!) if it's scheduled, even if the scheduled-for date is beyond the end of the membership term it was bundled with. However, these scheduled-lesson credits cannot be reassigned or rescheduled after the membership term ends, or they will be forfeited.
In addition to the above benefits for membership levels, a variety of new benefits are coming to CT3 memberships, including:
- PREMIUM membership will offer 60-day advanced scheduling for private and group lessons
- PREMIUM membership will offer (optional) auto-scheduling for bundled lesson(s)
- ... and more!
Stay tuned for more information about these and other exciting membership benefits.
Private & Group Lessons
CT3 has 2 coaches, each who offer (1-hr) private lessons, as well as (2-hr) group lessons (of 3-6 players).
Private lessons and group lessons individually focus on personal skills goals of each player.
Private lessons cost $70 (per hour) -- but this price is discounted to $65 per hour for those with an active membership (any level). Group Lessons cost $55 (per player).
All lessons additionally require players to use an open play session ($10 purchase) to access the club facility. However, for those with an active membership (any level), each additional lesson purchase (private or group) includes a complimentary play session (no cost).
In other words, private lessons for those without a membership cost $80 total, while those with a membership pay just $65. Similarly, group lessons for those without a membership cost $65 total, while those with a membership pay just $55.
Racket Assembly & Repair
Our expert coaches offer professional assembly (or repair) of your racket equipment, including: gluing, cleaning, testing/diagnosing issues, etc.
Cost is $25. Contact a coach directly to request this service.
Skills Clinics
Skills Clinics are like a super-sized group lesson, with both coaches and 7 - 12 players. Each clinic has a specific skill-theme for all players, and runs 2.5 - 3 hours.
The cost is $40 (per player).
Note: Skills Clinics do not require a separate open play session for accessing the club facility.

CT3 runs occassional Doubles Tournaments, as well as League Play. See staff members for more information and to express interest.
