Since our founding, the Greenwich Pokémon TCG Club has evolved from a small group of local enthusiasts into a thriving community. Our members range from young trainers just starting their Pokémon journey to competitive players honing their strategies for national tournaments. Through regular meetups, tournaments, and trading sessions, we've fostered a culture of learning, fun, and respect that's unique to our club.

Looking ahead, we're excited to expand our reach within Greenwich and beyond. Our goals include launching a mentorship program for younger players, increasing our online presence to connect with trainers globally, and hosting larger, more diverse events that cater to all aspects of the Pokémon TCG world. We're also exploring partnerships with local businesses and schools to spread the joy of Pokémon TCG and engage with the broader community.
