State's Top Table Tennis Players Training in St. Louis Park

Table Tennis Minnesota holds tournaments that accommodate star players and novices alike in the Sabes JCC gymnasium.

For the past three years, Table Tennis Minnesota, the premier ping pong organization in the Twin Cities, has been holding round robin tournaments and lessons and classes for aspiring paddle masters in the gym of the Sabes JCC.


Mitchell Seidenfeld, a St. Louis Park High School graduate, founded the organization in 1992, the year he won a gold medal in the Paralympics. 

Today, Table Tennis Minnesota boasts 300 to 500 active members. And, for as little as $10 for a two-hour lesson, Seidenfeld tutors some of the state's top players.
