Doug Stavig
Central Zone Director
Doug retired in 2021 and was introduced to pickleball by his wife, Roxanne, who signed him up for lessons at their local Rec Center in NW Arkansas. He was hooked after his first lesson! He now plays 4-5 times per week and tries to enter at least one tournament each month. Stavig has successfully directed several of his own tournaments and has run tournaments for several other organizations and non-profits. He is currently a PPR Certified pickleball instructor, and coaches and consults through his business; thepickleballdrs.com.
Stavig is the most decorated ambassador in US Senior Pickleball history and has brought more than 600 new members to USSP in 2024 alone! With his enthusiasm and can-do attitude, Stavig joyfully introduces countless seniors to the sport that he has become so passionate about.

Mike Hoxie
The West Zone Director
I was born and raised in Hawaii, went to California College and stayed for ten years, then moved up to the Pacific Northwest in the late 90s. In 2009, I learned the game of Pickleball from many of the legendary players here in the northwest. The last five years I have managed pickleball tournaments full-time with my company, Pickleball is Great. I work both Indoor and Outdoor tournaments, and have set up what feels like thousands of temporary courts and nets over the years; I always look forward to events with permanent courts.
