All About Our Table Tennis Clubs in Independence

Updated 6/9/2022

Our club plays at the Truman Memorial Building in Independence, Mo. The building is located at 416 W Maple Street in downtown Independence. The telephone number for the office is 816-356-1234. This number is handy for confirming whether there is play scheduled before you leave home.

Independence Parks & Recreation Table Tennis Club

The club hours are:

Monday from 11:00 am to 4:45 pm

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon

Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

We can set up as many as eight tables. All the tables have tournament quality barriers surrounding them. Play is on a wooden basketball court so non-marking shoes are required while playing.

Our players enjoy doubles and we have a great time. For those who prefer singles, there is always a table available. Since play is during the daytime on week days, we have a number of retired people, students, and shift workers.

The playing level ranges from beginners to above average tournament players. For those with knowledge of the USATT rating system, we go from about 1000 to 1800 in rating levels.

A membership to the Independence Parks & Recreation Department is required to play. A membership is $10/year per person for Independence residents and $25/year for non-residents. The club charges $1 per week per person to play. Everyone is welcome to play.  All play is open on each table.  We do not have leagues or regular training programs.
