We have a Pro Shop where you can get top quality tournament rackets, which are not available in sporting goods stores.

We sell table tennis ball machines, tables, rackets, rubber, shoes, balls and accessories.

We also sell instructional and competition DVDs.

Westside has a high-end robot (ball machine), capable of producing all spins that occur in table tennis.
It is a invaluable tool for working on specific techniques.
30 minutes on this machine will no only get you a tireless practice partner to hone your skills,
but it will get you a fun workout unlike any other.

Robot times:

Tuesday 10 pm to midnight
Friday 6 pm - 8 pm
Saturday 7 pm - midnight

Fees: $5/half hour (robot play only), $3/half hour (with floor fee for regular play)

There is a fitness area, where you can complete your work out with treadmills, weights etc. There is no additional charge for that. You can come directly from work and change into your sports clothing in our dressing rooms.

Our lounge area with a TV and DVD player provides an additional place to "hang out" and enjoy yourself while you're taking a break from playing.
