General Manager
Craig brings his positive energy to every session. He's been playing pickleball since the early 2000s and recently played and took 4th at the US Open in Naples, Florida. Reaching into the elites in singles and doubles arenas, Craig won a bid to the World Championships in Texas. He teaches all ages and skill levels to build the best pickleball. Ask him about how he met Ben and Collin Johns.
Front Desk and Membership Services
Kelly loves people, staying active, and helping others live healthier, happier lives. She firmly believes there are two types of people: those who love pickleball and those who just haven't played yet. Faith and family are at the center of her life. When she's not at The Pickl Park, she's usually with family, working out, or helping families improve the water in their homes. Most of all, she loves meeting new people and making everyone feel welcome.
Front Desk and Membership Services
A native New Yorker, former Pre-K teacher, and Human Resource Manager, Lorraine took up pickleball after retirement and fell in love with the game. While still a beginner, she wants to encourage everyone of all ages, particularly children and seniors, to try this amazing sport. She feels that if she could do it, anyone can do it!
