A Yellowknife table tennis enthusiast is proving it’s never too late to follow your dreams.

Sixty-one year old retiree Paul Devitt recently returned home from a professional table tennis training camp in Hungary.

“I really just want to be the best that I can be,” Devitt says.

He trained six hours a day to get in shape before travelling to Hungary last month. He spent two weeks at the Hungarian training camp, getting tips from some of Europe’s top coaches.

Table Tennis North and Aerobic Table Tennis visited Deh Gah School (Fort Providence), Chief Sunrise (Hay River Reserve), École Boréale (Hay River), Weledeh Catholic School (Yellowknife) in the Northwest Territories. We worked with 400+ kids and even did a session with 250 at one time. The biggest excitement came from doing a full Aerobic Table Tennis session on ice.

Christina (Principal Chief Sunrise School)
“The kids had a blast!!”

Steve Rowe, Aerobic Table Tennis
“Using Aerobic TT is the perfect way to engage children in a fun fitness activity that teaches them an Olympic sport and will also help them increase their health and wellbeing.”

Jim Snider, President Table Tennis North
“It is a fresh new approach to engage people into an active lifestyle while introducing them to the Sport of Table Tennis.”

Bowie Martin, President Butterfly North America
“It is so great to see the excitement in the kids faces, bouncing to the beat, keeping fit in this innovative fitness workout, play strokes with the beat of music and just having a lot of fun.”
