My daughter and I had a tennis lesson with the pro instructor, Eduardo. He was amazing and gave us a wonderful workout and pointed out suggestions to help with serving and how to grip the racket with more control and how to place our feet to determine where the ball lands for our serve. We played games for points and since I lost , I had to do squats. I was having a little trouble doing them so he ran and got me a chair. Now that's , what I call dedication to improving game, body and spirit. Lesson are offered as well as pickle ball groups on Tuesday with drink special afterwards. Definitely a highlight to my day.

Really enjoying pickleball at Southside Sports! Participated in Ladies Night, King & Queen of the Court, as well as a lesson with Coach Eduardo who has provided valuable instruction & advice. The new courts are really nice & you can’t beat drinks after at SkyBeach where you’ll enjoy beautiful landscaping & gorgeous views of the water & Skyway Bridge. This place will exceed your expectations. Easy access off I-275.

I started playing pickedball for the first time with Coach Eduardo on Tuesday and Saturdays. He is very friendly, great and knowledgeable coach. He helped me finding the best paddle for me and let me try all different kinds before purchasing. I'm enjoying meeting new friends at Tuesday ladies night with happy hour and learning new techniques on Saturday with the challenge of playing against guys. All fun at the end with healthy benefits! Come play with us!

I absolutely love this place! Pickleball here is so much fun. The courts are stunning and right by the water, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Eduardo, the Director of Racquet Sports, is amazing. He’s super personable, energetic, and makes learning the game such a blast. So happy this place exists. It’s become one of my favorite spots!

I had an incredible experience training with Coach Eduardo at Southside Sports at SkyBeach Resort! From the very first pickleball lesson, he brought amazing energy, clear instruction, and a deep knowledge of the game. Whether it was during private lessons or tournaments, he made everything fun, challenging, and easy to understand. I’ve seen real improvement in my skills and confidence on the court thanks to his coaching. The atmosphere at SkyBeach is also unbeatable—beautiful facilities, great vibes, and a strong sense of community. Highly recommend for players of any level! 🤙🏼🌊

Was already a huge fan of this hotel and they have just gotten better with the addition of the sports they offer! I am currently taking part in the weekly ladies pickleball clinic and having a blast! I'm a complete beginner and this has been a great way to learn the game and meet some new friends along the way. Eduardo our instructor has great energy and really makes this a lot of fun while helping us improve! Can't wait to experience more that Southside Sports has to offer.

Amazing place if you’re looking to have fun and try something different. So far, they have everything you need: pickleball, tennis, beach volleyball and beach tennis courts, delicious food and drinks, live music every weekend, and more! The best part? They’re getting better every single week! If you’re looking for pickleball or tennis lessons, don’t hesitate to ask for Eduardo — he’s the best!

Skybeach is a beautiful resort that offers 12 lighted pickleball courts, tennis courts, and volleyball courts right on the beach. Eduardo is an excellent pickleball coach. He is very patient and has the ability to recognize your weaknesses and shows you how to correct them to make you a stronger player. Regardless of your level, you will see improvement after one lesson. I highly recommend Eduardo, Southside Sports and SkyBeach. Daniel Bowen

I came to Southside Sports with my dad to attend a pickleball clinic with Eduardo. Not only did I have a ton of fun, but I learned so much in just an hour and a half. Eduardo was super knowledgeable and took time with each person at the clinic to explain certain techniques and help improve form. I will absolutely be coming back for another clinic the next time I’m in town visiting.
