The question we have been getting asked is…when will Pickleball be back? There will be no SONA Pickleball in 2026 due to Special Olympic 2026 USA Games being held in Minnesota. All athletes and coaches that are attending this event are currently in training mode to prepare for that event in June.

What an exciting weekend at the Special Olympics North America Pickleball Championship Tournament. 🎉 Athletes, Unified Partners, and Coaches from across the United States gathered to compete for the gold. Special Olympics - South Carolina Area 2 - traveled to Hilton Head Island, SC, thanks to the generous support of Alexandra Ruby and LowCoast - 'LowCo' Pickleball Club. Sponsors, fundraisers, and volunteers play a vital role in our ongoing efforts to provide Pickleball programs for individuals with disabilities. This experience enabled 15-year-old Julianna Mysayphonh to compete at Level 3 and bring home the silver medal. Julianna's participation not only yielded a medal but also fostered new friendships and significantly boosted her confidence. Her father, who served as her Unified Partner, was able to share in this magical experience. Athlete Daniel Cooper, 58, also attended and competed at Level 4. Daniel's long-held dream was to bring home a medal from SONA PICKLEBALL, a goal he had been working towards for the past two years. Having attended the previous year's event at Level 4 and secured a fourth-place ribbon, Daniel dedicated himself to intense training and showcased his improved skills, earning praise from his Coach. Winning the Silver medal not only fulfilled a lifelong ambition but also demonstrated the value of perseverance and hard work. Daniel's Unified Partner, Nathan Severance, stepped in as an alternate replacement for Elvis Kisonas, who was injured. Nathan proved to be an exceptional Unified Partner, radiating positivity throughout the event. Coach Jessica White did an outstanding job preparing her athletes. We eagerly anticipate their future performances at the Palmetto Dunes Pickleball courts. Special Olympics -South Carolina Area 2- LowCoast - "LowCo" Pickleball Club

A huge shout out to our main sponser LowCoast - "LowCo" Pickleball Club for their generous donation! 🫶🏼 Their generosity has helped pave the way for the Special Olympics -South Carolina Area 2- Ballers to attend SONA Pickleball this weekend. Without them and the help of Alexandra Ruby, this weekend would not be possible. If you are ever in the Savannah, Hilton Head Island area, check them out for some great fun. They offer all sorts of pickleball activities from Round Robin play to various clinics.
So from all of us at Area 2, THANK YOU!!😊 ❤️

Coach Jess has announced a new Unified Partner!! 🎉🎉🎉
We are welcoming Nathan S. as a new Unified Partner this year to the 2025 SONA Pickleball Tournament. 🎉
Nathan S. will be joining our Area 2 Pickleballers this year as a Level 4 Unified Partner for DAN THE MAN. A back up was needed after Elvis sustained an injury. Elvis will still be joining us encouraging his team mates and helping out where he can. We are super excited that Nathan has stepped in and that Coach Jess found the right person. 🫶🏼 Please wish Elvis a speedy recovery and let’s thank Nathan for stepping up!
