Founded by professional table tennis player Yasiris Ortiz, Spin & Learn began as a passion project at a South Bronx public school. After years of coaching and competing internationally, Yasiris launched the program to inspire students through the unique power of table tennis. By 2020, Spin & Learn Inc. was officially established, and since then, we’ve reached over 10,000 students across New York City—and we’re still growing.
At Spin & Learn, we combine the fun and focus of table tennis with academic support, physical fitness, and leadership development. Our programs are designed to build confidence, discipline, and teamwork—especially for students who may not connect with traditional sports. Whether it’s after-school sessions or full-day workshops, we bring high-energy, personalized programming that keeps students engaged, active, and empowered—on and off the table.
We help students grow into respectful, resilient team players—on and off the table.
From fast feet to focused minds, we make fitness fun. Active bodies = sharper brains.
We set the bar high—and cheer even louder when students reach it. In the classroom and on the court.
We bring the bounce back. Our programs spark confidence and inspire students to push past limits.
Mistakes? Missed shots? We teach kids to rally—again and again. Because grit wins games and life.
We’re your school's table tennis sidekick. Building a safe, encouraging space where every student can grow, belong, and shine.
