During August it was held a new edition of the Table Tennis Parapan American Games with the record number of 15 countries participants:
| Argentina | Brazil | Canada | Chile | Colombia |
| Costa Rica | Cuba | El Salvador | Haiti | Mexico |
| Peru | Puerto Rico | Uruguay | USA | Venezuela |
From ATTC our main goal is to promote Table Tennis in the entire region with special support in those countries that do not practice it actively, or do not have knowledge about the activities we are doing.
During the Games we have contact the leaders of each country in order to continue stimulating the different seminars and courses we realize from ATTC. We believe that the education is the first step for an effective participation.
Because of it we offer different types of development programs consisting of seminars, conferences or training camps for beginners:
- Seminar: Introduction to Paralympic Table Tennis.
- Classification Seminar.
- Coaching Course Level 1.
- Umpires Seminar.
- Training Camps for beginners players.
- Simple steps for the organization of an IPTTC Tournament.
We try to offer a service to the nations, which give equally conditions to makes possible to develop the practice of table tennis in all the countries.
We are gladly to offer you all the required information to start with this fascinating sport.
I hope Table Tennis can be the new union between American nations.
