The Story
St. Pete Athletic was born out of a passion for fostering community and creating a space where anyone and everyone can come together. Reuben Pressman and Graham D’Amico, both avid pickleball enthusiasts who were born and raised locally, recognized a significant need for more local gathering spaces and envisioned a place that combines recreational activities with vibrant social experiences.
Their vision quickly gained momentum with the addition of Jarrett Sabatini and Nathan Stonecipher, who also have deep roots in St. Petersburg and bring extensive experience in social and hospitality services. With the help of local backers, they ensured that St. Pete Athletic would offer a comprehensive experience that goes beyond just athletics.
As a unique three-paddle social club, St. Pete Athletic is the only facility in Florida to offer Pickleball, Padel, and Table Tennis under one roof, adding an exciting dimension to the local recreational scene. However, the heart of our club lies in our full bar and restaurant, creating a lively social hub where members can relax, unwind, and connect with others.
Our goal is to create a vibrant community space where people can come together, socialize, and enjoy a variety of experiences. Whether you’re engaging in a friendly match of pickleball or savoring delicious food and drinks at our bar and restaurant, St. Pete Athletic offers something for everyone.
Join us at St. Pete Athletic, where connection, enjoyment, and the joy of shared experiences come together to create lasting memories and friendships.
