A Pauls Valley tennis group is about to get its hands on a brand new racket, but this time on a slightly smaller scale.

This time it's table tennis, also known as ping pong, for the Pauls Valley Tennis and Racquet Association.

It's an event that even has a spicy name: the Valley Paddle Battle taking place February 1 at Pauls Valley's Reynolds Recreation Center.

Ping pong balls go in all directions, says Matt Hamilton of the tennis group.

It will be open and highly competitive. Players are coming from Dallas, and an Oklahoma City club will help promote the event.

Essential Table Tennis in OKC will use its role as event sponsor to provide the table tennis tables that will be set up in the local recreation center's gym for the February event.

Also planned for the event is what Hamilton describes as a wild version of table tennis called jungle pong, where eight to 10 people can play at the same table at the same time.

The local tennis and racquet group was founded almost a year ago to get people moving and help with the overall health of the community.

Another goal was to raise money for community programs, especially a long-term goal to replace more dilapidated tennis courts in Wacker Park.

“We wanted to help with community health benefits and get our community and other communities involved,” Hamilton said.

The effort started last March with a community tennis tournament and proceeds were used to purchase a canopy for local schools.

Then came Wimbley in the Valley, a tennis tournament in July on the grass of Wacker Park. Touch tennis is a much smaller version of tennis with smaller courts, smaller rackets and foam balls.

Just a few weeks ago, the group held a tennis tournament with proceeds going to PV Panther tennis and planned park court improvements.

It's all about the facilities, Hamilton said of the group's work to raise money for new local tennis courts.

Were also about community programs, which were already underway. We will continue to invest money in that.

It has also been recommended that the event receive $2,900 in tourism funds.

Anyone interested in participating in the upcoming table tennis event can register online at the tennis group's website as costs start at $25 for the first bracket.
