Attendance for this program is highly variable, it's recommended to bring a friend, make arrangements, or ask if anyone is attending on the Facebook group Greater Orlando Ping Pong & Table Tennis. If you are at the facility, make use the free access to the game room and take a peek back in the multipurpose room (next to the fitness room) to see if anyone is in attendance before buying a pass or membership.
