Merry Picklers, Corona Club & Charles Yong’s Successful FPF Experience: A Celebration of Pickleball, Friendship, and Sports Travel

FPF recently wrapped up an incredible three-day pickleball clinic and sports travel experience, welcoming the Merry Picklers from Singapore and Corona Club from Penang, Malaysia to our courts. This unforgettable journey was filled with high-level coaching, cross-cultural networking, and a whole lot of fun on and off the court. Just a week prior, we also had the pleasure of hosting one of Singapore’s top players, Charles Yong, for an intensive training experience that further solidified FPF as a hub for international pickleball development.

A Home Away from Home for Pickleball Travelers

At FPF, we pride ourselves on being more than just a training facility—we are a home for traveling pickleball players. Especially for those coming from Singapore, FPF offers a uniquely international yet familiar environment, blending the competitive spirit of Asian pickleball with a touch of Singaporean hospitality.

“We want every international player, especially those from Singapore, to feel at home at FPF. The moment you step on our courts, you’re part of the FPF family,” said Hannah Tan, Head of International Business at FPF.

Our coaching staff, training structure, and playing environment are designed to cater to both local and traveling players, creating a seamless integration of cultures, skill levels, and playing styles.

Singapore Meets China: Pickleball Without Borders

Beyond skill development, this visit was about bringing together Singaporean and Chinese players for an exchange of strategies, training techniques, and camaraderie. Players from both countries engaged in friendly matches, tactical discussions, and immersive training sessions, forging relationships that go beyond the game.

“Pickleball is more than just a sport—it’s about connections. Seeing the Merry Picklers train, compete, and bond with our local players was exactly what FPF is about,” said Darren Ho, Co-Founder of FPF.

The team also enjoyed a full sports travel experience, exploring local culture, indulging in amazing food, and making lifelong memories that extended far beyond the court.

Singapore’s Charles Yong, a top-tier athlete, spent a full week at FPF, taking advantage of high-intensity match play and top-tier facilities while on break from his national service, a mandatory two year army stint all 18 year olds must serve for Singapore. His training week reaffirmed FPF as the ultimate destination for serious players looking to elevate their game in a professional yet welcoming environment.
