We are excited to welcome back popular Head Professional Ethan Fraser, PPR for his 3rd season and his right-hand Pro Shop Supervisor, Sarah. They are already planning our second FHGC OPEN event in September , so be sure to mark your calendars. Ashlee Candelaria, USPTR/PPR returns for her third season and her responsibility and contributions keep getting bigger. She will be our lead buyer alongside new seasonal merchandiser, Debbi Nicholls. You will see a new professional face this season, Garrett Lakey, RSPA/IPTPA our Head Racquet Professional who will be supporting your pickleball professionals this season. We truly have one of the strongest professional teams that I have had the privilege of working with over my 33-year racquet career.

From your 2025 PICKLEBALL TEAM Welcome
The team will be bringing back our popular OPEN PLAY, five days a week and will help to facilitate fair and event social play. We will have leagues available for our advanced and intermediate players. We will have a SUNDAY AFTERNOON MIXER on Sunday's for our intermediate and advanced players. We didn’t forget the popular Chickleball Clinic & Play and will be offering two sessions this season. We had an 1,867% increase in Junior programming last season , so we anticipate participation continuing to go up. One of our clinics will allow parents and kids to train together. Our summer SHOOT-OUT is a great event to pair up with your kiddo, or your best friend, not to mention spouses. Those new to our pickleball program only need to contact the Pro Shop and one of our professional staff will set up an appointment to introduce you to all that we have to offer, especially if you are a beginner.
