Broward Table Tennis Club's spacious ping-pong studio boasts 16 tabletop courts where mini-tennis buffs can practice their game and face off with competitors on any day of the week. Ample lighting, high ceilings, and red rubber floors provide plenty of room for honing complicated curve balls and perfecting slam serves. The club also has a lounge area for relaxing between games; for an additional fee, you can play your part in the age-old contest of man vs. mandroid by taking on a Newgy Robo-Pong machine ($4 for 30 minutes; $8 for 60 minutes). Private lessons are also available from the center's world-class coaches.
