Flint Table Tennis Club organizes ping pong matches in three alternative locations on three different days of the week. After signing into the club, the organizers test your skill level during warm-up and then assign you to a group of players that match your skill level.
This is called the round-robin format. Players are not trained by a coach but rather made to play in leagues. The rates for youth start from as low as $1 with first-time play being free. This top table tennis club in Michigan is ideal for socializing through matches but we don’t think it’s suitable if you want professional coaching.

Not to be confused with a ping pong club of the same name in Minnesota, the Rochester Table Tennis Club has been functional since 2005. It currently uses a challenge format, which means you get to play with some of the best players in Rochester.
The members are from diverse backgrounds with varying skill levels and ages. This club is good for players who want to socialize and play with the best players around but we don’t recommend this for serious players.
Bottom Line
We recommend researching before you choose the club to your liking. Almost all of the clubs listed here have either official websites or social media pages so you can get to know more about them before you visit.
