Dennis Rhodes: I started playing table tennis 7 years ago at the Oklahoma City Table Tennis Club. I had been an MMA instructor for 15 years for Bill Cagle Martial Arts Studio, but I had both of my knees replaced and thought it prudent to change sports. I tried table tennis and liked it. I have played many tournaments and senior games. I am always trying to improve my skill. I want to play in A group on league night.
Phil Fitzgerald: After moving to Edmond in 2019, I was introduced to pickleball. Several new friends told me about the 2020 Senior Games. I knew I’d play in pickleball events, but I also realized my love of running enabled me to participate in more. Since then, I’ve had fun with pickleball, several track and field events, and even water walking!
