Living at Coast at Lakeshore East isn't just about amazing apartments and skyline views. It’s also about community. And…some friendly competition! Among the amenities offered, our residents particularly enjoy the (mostly) friendly games of Ping Pong and Cornhole. Newbie? No sweat, we’ve got the DL on both games to get you started.
Ping Pong : Become a Ping Pong Pro
Basic Rules: Think fast reflexes and outsmarting your opponent. Ping Pong, also known as table tennis, is a fast-paced game that requires strategic thinking and fast moves. First to 11 points (and win by two points) takes the crown!
The Serve: The game starts with a serve. The ball must be thrown at least six inches in the air and hit so that it bounces once on the server's side and then on the opponent's side.
Rallies: Players must alternate hits. The ball must bounce on the opponent's side after each hit. If it fails to do so, the opponent scores a point.
Winning: Matches are usually played in best-of-five or best-of-seven games.
Pro Tips:
Grip it tight! Try a shakehand or penhold grip for more control
Stay light on your feet and bend those knees boss
Moderate trash-talk can lead to more wins
Cornhole : Weird name, lot’s of fun!
The Setup: It ’ s like beanbag toss, but cooler. Place two boards 27 feet apart. Each board has a hole near the top. Teammates stand on opposite ends.
Get tossing! Each player or team has four bags. Players alternate throws, aiming to get the bag into the hole (3points!) or on the board (1point!).
Scoring: A bag in the hole scores 3 points, while a bag on the board scores 1 point. The first player or team to reach 21 points wins the game.
Cancellation Scoring: Points are calculated by cancellation. If both teams score points in a round, the points cancel out, and the net difference is added to the leading team’s score.
Pro tips :
Use an underhand throw for better control.
Aim slightly above the hole to allow for the bag's trajectory.
Moderate trash-talk can lead to more wins
