September 15–21, 2025
From the Arctic Winter Games to the Canada Games, from national championships to weekly practices in our northern communities, our coaches are the heart of Table Tennis North. They lead with passion, build safe and fun learning spaces, and help athletes thrive both on and off the table.
This year marks the 11th annual National Coaches Week, a time to recognize the incredible contributions of coaches across Canada. Right here in the Northwest Territories, we’re proud to celebrate the coaches who guide Team NT, support youth in remote communities, and keep the sport moving forward.
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing stories, athlete shout-outs, and opportunities to learn and grow. Whether you’re a coach, parent, athlete, or community supporter, we invite you to join in and say #ThanksCoach in your own way.
