Our Story
Since
2014

Princeton Pong opened in the summer of 2014, founded by table tennis enthusiast and entrepreneur Flint Lane alongside his coach David Zhuang, a three-time US Olympian and USATT Hall of Famer. Together they set out to grow a community business and nurture people's love of the game.

On the eve of its 11th anniversary, Roger Kang and André Liu joined Flint & Kathy Lane as co-owners, adding their experience and energy to daily operations and the long-term growth and constant betterment of the club.

Application only

JETT is designed for junior players who already have a solid foundation in table tennis and are ready to take the next step in their development. Because of the level and structure of the program, acceptance is by application only — players must already have the basic fundamentals in place before joining.

Apply for JETT

If your child is newer to the sport or still developing the fundamentals, we recommend starting with one of our Fall Group Lessons. These classes are designed to build the skills needed to eventually progress into programs like JETT.

Scholarship Opportunity Coach Aria Shi

We're also excited to offer a special JETT scholarship opportunity through Princeton Pong junior coach Aria Shi. This scholarship is designed to support a deserving junior player in their table tennis development and provide greater access to quality training.
