SF Berlin-Style Ping Pong League new season kicks off tonight!

It’s just like a regular Berlin-style ping pong party, but it happens every Monday night for 6 weeks (which means ample time to forge new friendships and rivalries) and there are prizes at the end.

Sign up! (Or tweet about this post and tag @AmericanTripps for a chance to win a FREE team membership.)

From the Mission Cliffs FB page:

Did you pass the rainy weekend watching the Sochi Olympics?

Then you MUST have noticed the highlight right? No, it wasn’t the triple Salchow, or the Air-to-fakie poptart….

IT WAS YOUR OWN Mission Cliffs Indoor Rock Climbing Gym APPEARING IN A COMMERCIAL! BOOM!

Look out world!

And take that, Putin!  Btw, here’s the commercial:

A party every Monday night for 6 weeks!

Here’s the deal:

Love our parties but wish there was a way you could play Berlin-style ping pong EVERY WEEK instead of just every once in a while? Join the SF Berlin-Style Ping Pong League! New season starts Monday January 13, register now so you don’t miss out!

The League is a little more organized than our parties, but the number one rule is still having fun. It’s a great way to meet new people and start your week off right :)

Plus it’s at the awesome new Folsom Street Foundry! Register!

Go Ninres!
