About this Experience
What you'll do:
You'll spend three hours at the table with Daniely Ríos, a Pan American Games gold medalist who brings the same intensity and warmth to your group session that she brought to international competition.
Warm-Up Drills – Start with fundamentals that get everyone comfortable at the table, regardless of how long it's been since you held a paddle.
Pro Coaching Rounds – Daniely breaks down her technique in real time, adjusting tips to your group's actual skill level, not a one-size-fits-all clinic.
Group Rallies – Play structured rallies that build momentum and get the whole group moving and laughing together.
Mini Competitions – Go head-to-head in friendly matches that Daniely organizes and referees, with just enough competition to make things interesting.
Q&A with a Champion – Ask Daniely anything about her international career, training habits, or what it took to win gold at the Pan American Games.
Whether your group comes in knowing nothing about the sport or shows up with opinions about backhand technique, you'll leave having played better, laughed harder, and had a genuinely good time.
Why we love it for your party:
Pro Credentials – Daniely is a former Puerto Rican National Team member and Pan Am gold medalist, which means your group gets coaching that's actually elite, not just enthusiastic.
All Skill Levels Welcome – Sessions are shaped around your group in real time, so beginners and competitive players can share the same session without anyone feeling left out or held back.
Premium Facility – PingPod runs on professional-grade equipment in a modern, tech-enabled space that's a noticeable step up from your average rec room.
High Energy, Low Ego – Daniely's style is fast-paced and fun without ever making anyone feel like they're in gym class.
Private Group Format – Your session is just your group, which means the energy, the pace, and the focus are entirely yours.
