Improve your game while enjoying Paradise… on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches in the world
Pickleball in Paradise Vacations has created the ultimate pickleball adventure at Sandals South Coast, Jamaica. As the weather starts to cool in the US, you will be enjoying the Jamaican sunshine! Designed just for Esplanade Lakewood Ranch, this experience includes a 6-Day pickleball camp led by Pickleball Pros Chris Crouch and Victoria Shinkaretzky, white sandy beaches, cocktails, and 5-star global gourmet dining!

Meet Your Pros
Chris Crouch and Victoria Shinkaretz
Hailing out of St Pete, FL, both Chris and Victoria are players of the All Florida Pro League, with Chris representing the Sarasota Manatees, and Victoria representing the St. Pete Iceburgs. Don’t worry, it really was nothing but love when the two teams had to play against each other this season.
Chris and Victoria are regular contenders in both local and professional tournaments, while Chris also helps produce the live streams for All Florida Pickleball events. Outside of pickleball, you can see the two of them traveling the world, exploring new places, and competing in beach volleyball and tennis.
