I came in last week and spoke to Maddie, she was so friendly and kind. She went above and beyond in explaining table tennis to me, she made me feel understood and answered my questions throughly.
Thank you Maddie for helping me !

Be warned that these guys will continue to direct debit your account up to a month after ceasing attendance for gymnastics.
We didn't have a great experience, with the teachers regularly threatening to call the kids parents. We've never had an issue before at netball, dancing or soccer with behaviour. The kids words were "it's not fun".
I called and tried to negotiate with them they didn't even bother to ask why we were leaving. They just read the contract rule book like robots.
Considering they have a waiting list to get in, I can't imagine why they need to continue charging people so long after they cease attending. It's a blatant cash grab.

Disappointing experience with both admin and coaching. My daughter attended for nearly two years, but in her final year made zero progress through the awards system. Coaches were inconsistent—she'd pass a skill one term, only to be told she hadn’t the next. She kept repeating the same things weekly with no clear support or guidance, and when she asked how to improve, was told it could take two years to pass—completely discouraging for a 7-year-old.
The payment system is also a mess. I refused to give my card details on paper as requested, paying upfront each term instead, yet somehow they charged me anyway—twice for the same fee, in different years. After lots of back and forth, they “fixed” it, only for it to happen again. I’ve since pulled my daughter out. I do not recommend PCYC.

The table tennis at Newcastle PCYC is amazing - for anyone considering it, just try it.
I've gone to almost every session since the first one I went to - it's just so much fun.

Table tennis venue is set up great with plenty of tables. But the times are strict and only on Monday or Wednesday and a couple of hours on Saturday. If your not available those times, then bad luck and even though they have plenty of great tables that are paid for by the help of your fees, you can't just go in on an off day for a practice hit with a friend, even if the hall is vacant. So if you are a keen player, or aspiring young person, looking to practice everyday, who doesn't have room for a table at home, then you probably aren't going to get very good at it. It's a great sport and the powers that be, need to lighten up, be more flexible with times and equipment and make it a bit more available for everyone that pays. We don't all have the good fortune of being able to play at home.
