Volunteer With our commitment to promote the sport of table tennis in the Dallas-Fort Worth area some of our activities are on a volunteer basis. Sometimes these activities don't go unnoticed - we have done many exhibitions and free clinics in schools, shopping malls and other places. In 2005 USATT and USOC recognized and awarded our Daniel Rutenberg as the Volunteer Coach of the Year. In addition, most of our activities are run with the help of volunteers! If you want to help or want to volunteer for future activities, please contact us. We couldn't do it without volunteers! Thank you!

The children in the NAS JRB summer reading program, Get In The Game, READ! were treated to a demonstration of Table Tennis plus hands on instruction about how to play the game. Over thirty children benefited from Donna and Scott's expertise and knowledge. A great time was had by all and the Base Library appreciates Donna's and Scott's time and talents to support the youth program.
