Hi I live in Boise ID, and I have a ping pong table in my basement and I play with my friends quite a bit. But I am looking for a place that I can play with more room and looking for more people to play with. I have looked that up but I haven't found much oppurtunities

Hey Reuben. I live in Eagle, ID (very close to Boise) and I find myself going to the Idaho Atheltic Club in Eagle Downtown. There we have a Table Tennis club where anyone can come and play on Sunday and Thursday's. Here is a link to their website http://www.boisetabletennis.org/ But I have no idea about any coaches and I am just 16 and an intermediate player and really wanting to get better so. If anyone can tell me about coaches in this area very strongly appreciated.

I know this question is a bit old, but wanted to go ahead and comment as well. I also live near Boise, but in Meridian. I've been playing off and on with people from the Boise Table Tennis Club for about 5 years. They are small, but a lot of nice/good people to play with. I'm one of the younger members at 27 years old, and am recently really trying to improve my game. It would be awesome to have coaching in the area, but the closest I know of is in West Valley Utah, at the "West Valley Table Tennis Training And Events Center" (http://tabletenniseventcenter.com/). 

And lastly, Jai Bansal, if you're really looking to get better then maybe we could play sometime. I don't remember meeting you at the club, but sorry if I've forgotten! I'm not a coach but would love to find a training partner that is interested in doing some drills instead of always just playing some matches at the club for fun. Send me an email if you want: gwheelin44@gmail.com.
