PINGPOD

Mission

We aim to make Table Tennis accessible to everyone. Starting in NYC, we offer communities safe spaces to play that urban centers desperately lack.

PINGPOD’s mission is to activate neighborhoods by using technology and an easy, seamless and affordable customer experience. In doing so, the PINGPOD-network aims to elevate the sport of Table Tennis, which has been historically overlooked in the United States.

From beginners to experts, the PINGOD-network is designed to take people on the journey from Ping Pong to Table Tennis, helping them stay active by promoting a healthy and fun experience next door!
