The Suncoast Pickleball Association, founded by Coach Russell Elefterion in 2015, pioneered pickleball camps in the U.S., being the first recognized by IPTPA in 2016. Known for its fun and structured learning environment, Suncoast has since attracted hundreds of players looking to improve their game. Coach Elefterion, an IPTPA and IFP-certified professional, brings extensive experience, including medals from top tournaments like the German Open and US Open. Suncoast also organizes 15 tournaments annually across Florida to support player development.
