Under the Spin Academy is where the passion meets the eternal purpose.
“We mentor youth through table tennis to build confidence, resilience, discipline, humility, and sportsmanship, helping them become ‘Overcomers’ who face challenges, grow through setbacks, and apply these lessons beyond sports.”

The program aims to invigorate the sport by generating excitement and engagement through the art of having fun across generations.
Coach Mike started the table tennis program in summer of 2023 at Christ Lutheran School in the city of Brea to meet the community’s need for play and practice sessions for K-8 youth.
Specializing in supplying a welcoming and supportive environment, the academy focuses on both play and practice. Our mission is to provide both educational and youth-development programs through the sport of table tennis, including instruction, mentoring, character development, healthy recreation, and community activities that promote confidence, resilience, discipline, humility, sportsmanship, and positive relationships.
With experienced players & coaches and state-of-the-art facilities, we aim to build a strong foundation for future champions while ensuring that everyone has fun and develops a lifelong passion for table tennis.
Strength is built through training, pushing limits and embracing progress

FAQs
What type of lesson should I take for the first time in Under the Spin Academy??
We would like to ask you to make an appointment with us first to assess/evaluate your skill level (15 to 20 minutes). The coach will determine which type of lesson that you need.
Coach, I never play Ping Pong or Table Tennis. Isn’t it too late for me? I am over 40+
Never too late. This is a sport for all ages. I have seen players that are 70 + years old and still compete USATT Sanctioned Tournaments in age group.
Is it possible to negotiate tuition / lesson fee?
Those are already below the market price. Right now we are running an introductory tuition / lesson fee and we do not know when the fee is back to normal market price. BUT, we do offer FREE lessons for a limited number of low income families that under 100K annual income with proof. We strive for affordable lesson fees to promote this “Overlook” Olympic sport.
Do students need to pay a daily pass to play after training / private lesson?
No. The student is free to play afterward. We offer a daily pass for non-students.
