Whether you're chasing a podium finish or just looking for a great day on the courts, Tournament Tuesday is one of the best ways to play, learn, and connect with fellow shufflers.

We had a special visitor this week, broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers Logan Reever stopped by to check out the club while the Tigers were in town for a 3 game series with the Rays. We showed him around and let him try pushing a few discs- he was not a natural, but he tried! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZJKRNsR4Tz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

You never know where a broadcast will take you 😂😂😂 #baseball #tv #funny #comedy #sports

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month is a celebration of authenticity, community, and belonging. 🏳️‍🌈

One of the things we love most about shuffleboard is who shows up.

On any given night, you'll find students, retirees, artists, engineers, lifelong locals, recent transplants, first-time players, and national champions sharing the same courts. Different backgrounds. Different stories. One game.

For more than 100 years, people have gathered at the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club to connect through that game. Today, we're grateful for the diverse community of players, volunteers, members, and visitors who make this place what it is—and for the reminder that the courts are better when everyone feels they belong.

Join us for Shuffle With Pride on Friday, June 12th at 5:30pm for an evening of shuffleboard, community, and fundraising benefiting PFLAG Safety Harbor & Greater Pinellas.

💜 See you on the courts.

Which event are you most excited about?

102 years. Countless champions. One trophy wall. 🏆

Recently Club staff took down every trophy on the Club's trophy wall, gave them a thorough dusting, and refreshed the display to let these pieces of shuffleboard history shine.

The wall features trophies spanning from the late 1920s to today, with some of our oldest awards displayed at the top. It's fascinating to see how trophy designs have evolved over the decades—from beautifully engraved cups, to ornate plaques, gold shuffler figurines, that give way to more modern styles of recent years.

While the trophies may look different from one era to the next, the reason they were earned remains the same: great competition, sportsmanship, and the joy of a hard-fought win.

Next time you're at the Club, take a moment to look them over. You might spot a familiar name—or discover a piece of shuffleboard history you hadn't noticed before. ✨🏆
