From the archives

Local Connecticut stories preserved from Dave’s Tripod news pages. National/world wire items from older posts are historical and not re-published in full here.

Youth · New Haven

Amistad Academy exhibition & clinic

Dave Strang and club regulars ran exhibitions and multi-table coaching with Fairhaven Athletics / Peter Noble for New Haven charter school students — continuing a long youth TT partnership.

Seniors

CT Senior Games hosted with club play

For years CT TTA hosted Senior Games table tennis alongside regular club sessions in Middletown and Fairfield — medals across age groups for familiar club names.

Juniors

David Katz climbs the ratings

State junior champion David Katz, coached at Fairfield TTC, posted strong results at USATT events — a home-grown example of club coaching working.

Club life

Fairfield birthday open play

Players surprised Coach Dave with cake during a busy summer Saturday session — the club culture of friendly and competitive play in one gym.

Community

Grassroots youth TT recognized

The Fairhaven / Amistad youth program earned earlier recognition including USATT grassroots support and local press — still part of the club’s story.

History

Web presence since the 1990s

Dave’s Tripod and RealTableTennis.com sites were among the earlier U.S. club web homes — this rebuild keeps that content alive with a clearer modern theme.
