The stadium opened for all players on Monday night. Juniors returned earlier this month.

David Walkley, who moved from Wonthaggi to Warrnambool a month ago, was among the first players at the Cramer Street venue on Monday night.

Thanks to the state government easing coronavirus restrictions on Sunday the association was able to welcome adults back.

With adults allowed to play indoor sport again, the association is allowing a patron limit of 40 players and spectators in the stadium. Mask are to be worn when not playing.

Secretary Mark Taylor said Table Tennis Victoria provided updated guidelines on Monday afternoon.

He said one of the surprises was doubles play was allowed.

Walkley, who took up the sport again in the past four years, said he missed table tennis during coronavirus lockdown.

"I saw it (the stadium) was opening up and I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and testing my skills against the Warrnambool players," he said.

He was stoked to hear Sunday's announcement from Premier Daniel Andrews.

"I was relieved, quite excited, it's been a long wait, personally I feel it's been a bit overdue, it just shows there's light at the end of the tunnel for opening up other things - other sports and social activities," he said.

The recent retiree said he had some time on his hands and wanted to attend more of the club's sessions.

The association will have casual hitting on Thursday 9.30-10.30am.

Coaching sessions on Saturday's from 9.30am will start this week.
