Club
of the Month: The San Gabriel Valley TTCBy Bobby Roberts
The San Gabriel Valley Table Tennis Club (CA) may not be the largest or most extravagant club around, but it certainly has become one of the most well known clubs in the U.S. This is largely due to Coach Grace Lin and her junior players, who have been producing spectacular results during the past three years.
The club is located in El Monte, CA and is the home to about 60 junior players ranging from 7-18 years of age. Several of these players have equipment sponsors, which include Joola, Butterfly and Andro. The club also has many adult members who like to challenge each other and most of all, take their shot at some of these talented young juniors. On any given day, it is not uncommon to see a ten-year-old beating an adult. The SGVTT club has five tables and is open seven days a week for private and group training, and open play.
There is no doubt that the SGVTT club is a club that focuses mostly on its junior training program. One of the many things that helps attract new young kids and keeps the others focused is the outstanding example set by some of the clubs star players such as Jeff Lin Huang, Steven Chan, Anthony Liu, Jonathan Chen and Alicia Wei.
The SGVTT club president is Dr. Jiing Wang, who is also the USATT Executive Vice President.
