We found this ping pong summer camp through ActivityHero and signed up our 5yo son, who had absolutely no prior ping pong experience. We were amazed by how much he learned in just one week morning program! More importantly, he had a great time there. The coaches were patient, kind, and encouraging, creating a positive environment where kids could learn while having fun. Our son gained new skills, confidence, and a genuine interest in the sport. We are very grateful to all the coaches and staff for making it such a wonderful experience. We would definitely return in the future and highly recommend this camp to other families! read more

My middle-school aged kids participated in a week-long summer camp and had a great time. Shashin and the other two coaches were excellent in teaching the kids fundamental skills and techniques for forehand and backhand, and providing adjustments to improve wrist angle, elbow and hip position, posture and foot movement etc. Good warm-up exercises in the morning, and fun games knocking down towers of cups to improve precision in the afternoon. Highly recommended! read more

Shashin is an awesome owner and coach. He has also hired excellent coaches. This is the only place I could find near my home that offers weekday classes. Pricing is excellent also. My 9 yr old is enjoying and really likes how coach will push you to the next level when he sees that you have the potential. My kid goes twice a week. After a month, he is able to defeat his dad in a game. This shows how well the coaches are. read more

I have been attending the adult training group class at FFTA for nearly two months now, returning to training after a 15-year hiatus from the sport. Initially, I was skeptical about how things would go. The training sessions at FTTA have been highly enjoyable, refreshing, and simultaneously rigorous. Shashin and his coaches are excellent; they provide focused feedback to help improve your game and technique. They also address the weaker aspects of your game while teaching newer, updated techniques to make you a more complete player. The atmosphere is also very friendly, making it easy to meet new people and forge new friendships. I had been searching for adult table tennis clubs for a while, and then COVID-19 hit. FTTA is one of the few places in the Bay Area that offers adult training sessions at a reasonable price. I highly recommend FTTA to anyone looking to embark on a table tennis adventure, have fun, or get a great workout. read more

Shashin is an excellent coach and I have got groups lessons for my daughter and a few private lessons for myself. I won my first tournament after a very long time with minor tweaks he made in a short amount of time! Children thoroughly enjoy the sessions from the coaches there learning the game while having fun with fellow students. Shashin communicates with the children well which I think is the most important factor and has a keen eye for the details. I have been playing at his professionally organized weekend leagues which are fun and competitive at the same time. Many children who started with him have become very advanced players. I strongly recommend his club if you are looking for a place for your children to learn table tennis as a sport. read more

Overall, the academy is a safe and professional place for people of any age to pick a paddle and shake their body and stay away from busy career. read more

My kids have been training with Coach Shashin (and team FTTA) for over a year now. My kids started with group classes at the San Jose branch; they have graduated to private lessons after a year. Participating in weekend-league at the FTTA (main branch) is a wonderful way to develop a growth mindset and a sense of community. We have participated in a couple of tournaments organized by the FTTA too. It has been an inspiring and enriching association for us. COVID update: The FTTA has been open for classes since June, 2020. We have been attending classes (weekend/weekday) and league matches. read more

Shashin ran a very organized tournament over three days that encompassed extremely talented players across every level and every age group. The diversity of players really stood out to me and it's one of the great qualities of this facility because it is inviting yet professional. The facility is clean and the equipment is first rate.

It is a very welcoming community of players inside as well. read more

My two kids, 9 and 7 years, have been taking table tennis (ping pong) lessons from coach Shashin for about a year now at Fremont Table Tennis Academy. They love it. Shashin is an excellent coach, and the lessons with him have been well worth the investment! He is very patient, energetic, and good with young beginners at honing in on how to focus on improving the small particulars of the game. He is also very encouraging, even for the skills kids were not good at all. He advises on what you need to do to become better. He has helped my kids improve their table tennis interest as well. His academy is a good place for both amateur players as well as professional players. All coaches are really good. Shashin mixed the right amount of push, correction, and positive feedback. There was a noticeable improvement in kid's table tennis. Shashin's approach encourages my kids to want to work hard. While my kids are just a beginner to the sport, I can see them working with Shashin for years to come! His academy is an excellent place for kids to have a fun time. My kids love this place and the coach. I feel that this table tennis training academy is an excellent place. Totally recommend him as an instructor for "all ages". The best compliment I could give is that I have referred over a few friends who now also take lessons with Shashin. I would definitely recommend everyone to come and experience how fun ping pong is and especially at this place. read more

My kid has been going to this place for the last three years and we are very happy how he progressed from a beginner level to a professional tournament player. Shashin, the head coach, has utmost patience when it comes to training kids. The academy environment is very professional and welcoming for young kids to flourish and grow. Overall would recommend FTTA to friends and family. read more

As someone that has played "ping pong" for a long time I was looking to improve my skills, get exercise and have fun. The coaches here are great, the facility feels safe and clean, and the training has escalated my game to the point that I am now a decent table tennis player. It looks great for kids as well as adults of all ages and all skill levels. I highly recommend this place. read more

You gotta pay for using paddles and balls here, and the owner is rude and late for classes, never come back again. If you just want to play, other ping pong places around the area are way better read more

My son Sayan has started learning at Fremont Table Tennis center a couple of months back. He was a complete beginner. I'm amazed see how the coaches are encouraging him, relentlessly teaching him the basics, correcting mistakes, encouraging small wins, and how he started grasping the game in merely 7-8 weeks. The basics techniques are very important for anyone to learn any game properly, I can see definitely that is happening at FTTA. Also, head coach and owner Shashin is amazing. He is not only a great coach, also he is an amazing player. Just watch him playing in youtube! I look forward to years of coaching for my son at this great center. Update after 2+ years: my son is still at FTTA and have been improving his ratings and skills! The best thing is my son does not want to miss his classes, and league! I highly recommend FTTA to anyone who really want to focus on Table Tennis in a friendly and encouraging environment with great coaches. read more

Coach Shashin is a great teacher! I could immediately tell he was highly qualified to teach everything from the very basics to advanced techniques, and his teaching method is adaptable to your personal skill level. He gives you a thorough explanation of the techniques and guides you through the motions to solidify the skills in muscle memory. A very kind and masterful mentor! read more

My son just loves this training institute. Ever since he started going there, his playing style has improved a lot which led him to won multiple awards. I would highly recommend FTTA if your kid is passionate about ping pong. The director " Shashin Shodhan" has charismatic style of providing a training to passionate players. Lots of my friend's kids go there and have same a similar experience as mine. I'll highly recommend this institute if you really want your kids to get personal touch in playing methodology. read more

My son has been going to Fremont Table Tennis Academy for about 2 years now, and I am really happy with the progress he's made over this time. Coach Shashin is really passionate about the game and extremely invested in training the students and getting the best out of them. Being an accomplished player himself, he has a lot to offer to the kids not only in terms of developing their physical skills, but also in terms of the mental adjustments required to succeed. What really stands out for me is the attention to detail in his prompt feedback regarding strengths and weaknesses based on performances, which is an excellent reflection of his understanding of the game. For example, in a recent tournament that my son participated in, although Shashin was coaching over zoom due to Covid-19 restrictions, it was extremely effective and made a significant difference to the end results. Overall, I am very happy so far and more importantly my son really loves getting trained at Fremont Table Tennis Academy. I would recommend them to my friends in a heartbeat!! read more

It is a great place to play ping pong. I usually play in the open play and league on the weekend. People are all super friendly here. Highly recommend Fremont table tennis. :) read more

My ten year old has been taking beginning classes with Shashin for the last 7 months. He loves it here. He enjoys the camaraderie with the other students, but, in particular, with Coach Shashin. He has a nice way with kids. Besides the group classes, we've done private lessons, team league, Sunday league and one tournament, and all have gotten an enthusiastic thumbs up from my son. He would attend every day if it were up to him. read more

FTTA is awesome place to learn table tennis. I joined as a beginner and gradually improved in all aspect of Table Tennis game. All coaches are very friendly and very patience to teach. On Saturdays there are leagues in which you can check your ability on how far you have improved by progressing through different levels in league. read more

I wish so much that I could come to this club to play more often. Too bad I live kinda far away. Everyone is so nice and friendly here. The feeling of this place is like a big family here. Especially Shashin. He is so nice. I believe he was a former national team, he has good skill in table tennis, quick and powerful shot, I'm sure if I could play him more often my rating will improve really fast. He seems like a very good coach, all of his students play very well, every time we came to play in the round robin they got improved and hard to beat. Forgot to mention, Shashin also has an assistant coach also play really well, sorry I forgot his name. His rating is around 2300-2400. He is very talented also. I can't wait until the next time to come here and play the round robin again. read more

Shashin Shodhan is the instructor for this ping pong club. His credentials are impressive (read his website), and if you've seen him play you know that he knows what he's doing. My kids have attended his sessions for about 3 months now and they enjoy it. Shashin is patient and good with kids. Both of my kids have obviously improved after training with him. There are students of various caliber at the school, which makes it fun for them to learn from each other. We bought quality paddles from him, and we probably should've bought the table from him too (the Sear's one is cheap but not very good.) read more

I have been to 3 tournaments and they are allways run professionally and on time as advertised. I cant wait until the next one..also, if your in the market for some serious training shashin is a very serious instructor, the best in the area, my game went up to another level with his help, 3 thumbs up! read more

This place is great - I called and got information on matches etc. Great bunch of people and fun times - they also sell blades and rubber. They have a bunch of nights to play table tennis - get your pong on! read more

Looking for a sport for my daughter who had already tried tennis and was not very interested, we found Fremont Table Tennis Club around 2 years ago and wanted to give it a try. We also put our son who was 4.5 years then, just for the sake of it and he was not even the table's height at that time :) Coach Shashin is always patient with the kids and repeats the instructions as many times needed to make sure the kid understands them. Also, his dad Kuldip gives encouragement who is also a ping pong player and a coach. We are very happy with the choice we made. My daughter already has come as runner up in few tournaments. Above all, I see that she has gained a lot of confidence and sportsmanship. Both the kids love the sport. The place is small, but the people are very friendly. After couple of years, I got interested and began playing in the open play. Now, taking lessons from Shashin too for the past one month and am loving it :) It's a very good exercise and also I love sharing the same sport that my kids like. read more

I go there for open play, People are friendly. Place is crowded, floor area is good only for two table, they keep 5 tables. Most of the time during the open play, one table at the prime location will be used for private lessons, keeping the side barrier/coaching material very close to the next table. In effect the good two tables (with proper lighting and net) are not available during the open play hours. This restricts the open area to the two tables near to the main door with lot of stuff (like glass shelf with table tennis stuff for sale, refrigerator etc around). In short good place to play if private lessons are not in progress and number of players coming for open play is five or six read more

Ripped off can't even begin to describe how I felt coming here! My friend and I researched online for months to find a ping pong place that we could play some long intense hours of ping pong open play. Coming here seemed like the best idea since we wanted to eat some epic ramen close by and their website said they offered open play and that's about it. Once we came here we were already skeptical as we had to rent out paddles and balls, something that other locations would provide, but I suppose that's fine right? We couldn't expect to just get something like that for free. We paid for our open play and played some great games of ping pong, albeit cramped and without much space to move around. However, after only a couple hours, nowhere near the closing time of the center, the owner came up to us and informed us that "the average customer doesn't stay as long" as we did and insisted that we leave. Of course my friend and I would comply since we aren't the type of people that would argue over something like that to the owner, but what we did do was feel heartbroken and disappointed. Had we known that there were such limitations on what they call "open" play then we would have never come! read more

Worst table tennis club on the west coast. No elbow room, low ceiling, strange arrangement, etc. etc. Should be given zero star if the yelp software allows. read more
