It’s getting to be that time of year! Our annual P3—Pickleball, Pumpkins & Pastries—is just a few weeks away, and I’m excited for this one!

If you haven’t joined us before, this is a day for the whole family! Our All-Abilities athletes play pickleball and rotate through activity stations, with plenty of time for pumpkin decorating and, of course, pastries. This year, we’re adding some fun new activities we’ve never done before. You’ll have to come check them out!

Registration is open for athletes AND volunteers!

Soooo… if you’ve been thinking about helping, this is a great opportunity to jump in! All volunteers will participate in training before the event so we can share the heart behind our All-Abilities ministry and help everyone feel ready to welcome and support our athletes.

We want every athlete to feel included, encouraged, and celebrated—and you can help make that happen.

Sign up, invite a family, or come volunteer with us. I’d love to see you there!

What an amazing day we had our All-Ability athletes this past Saturday. Super thankful for our golf instructor Gregg Johns and super thankful to all of our supporters. Because of donations and support we are able to keep these camps and clinics free of charge for the families of these athletes!

ALL-ABILITIES GOLF — BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Our All-Abilities events are about so much more than sports — they’re about building a community where athletes AND their families feel welcomed, supported, and connected.

Join us for an afternoon of golf, encouragement, and fun! While athletes learn and play at their own pace, parents, siblings, grandparents, and caregivers are invited to come alongside them, connect with other families, and enjoy the day together.

No experience needed. No pressure. Just come as you are. ❤️

Every athlete. Every family. You belong here.

ALL ABILITIES GOLF!

One of the things we love most about FCA is that sports give us an opportunity to remind athletes of something so much bigger than the game — that they are seen, they are valued, they are loved, and they belong.

On Saturday, September 26th, we’re hosting our FCA All Abilities Golf Clinic at Middleburgh Central School! This afternoon is specifically designed to give athletes of ALL abilities the opportunity to experience golf in a fun, patient, encouraging environment.

Former collegiate golfer Gregg Johns will be leading our athletes through the fundamentals of golf, with our volunteers there to provide individualized support and encouragement along the way.

No golf experience? No problem.
No equipment? We’ve got you covered.

Just come ready to have fun, try something new, and be encouraged!

📅 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 12:00–2:00 PM
📍 Middleburgh Central School
⛳️ Athletes of all ages and abilities are welcome!

At FCA, we believe every athlete was uniquely created by God, is deeply loved, and has incredible value. That’s what this afternoon is really about.

Everyone belongs. Everyone is welcome. ❤️
