Pensacola Table Tennis Club history
A MEAGER START
Our club started officially in 1993 but years before that we had members playing all around the City of Pensacola in various different location. In 1996 however due to the efforts of five men (Roberto Saria, William Redding, Mizell McKee, Anthony Okafor and Russell Wyatt) our club was officially recognized by the USATT organization and the Internal Revenue service as a Non-Profit 501(c) (7) Pensacola Table Tennis Club. Four of the five members still abide and occasionally play here in Pensacola.
CLUB GROWTH
One of the main reasons our club grew the way it has was because of a program in USATT called the "Grass Roots" program. Roberto petitioned USATT for a Grass roots grant and eventually we were given the funds to purchase enough good tables to allow us to host table tennis tournaments and become self funding. Past Presidents of the club after Roberto's moving to Pheonix include Steve Sebastian, Jose Bocanegra and currently for the past 20 years, L.A. Johnston. Under L.A.'s guidance we have grown from six tables to twelve tables, two robots and host multiple tournaments per year. Our membership is steadily growing and is our club and sport following.
Symbiotic relationship with the City of Pensacola
We have a very good relationship with the City of Pensacola Parks and Recreation. For years now we have helped each other to the benefit of both entities. We helped pay for better lighting within the facility through tournament proceeds and outside donations from tournament players. We help with Senior Games management and materials. The city helps us by allowing us to play there. It's a relationship we intend to continue for many years to come.
