JAMAICA PICKLEBALL OPEN

Island Athletic Co. is more than a pickleball retailer—we are builders of the sport in Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean. As the official hosts of the Jamaica International Pickleball Open, we are committed to creating world-class events that elevate the standard of competition, bring international attention to the region, and inspire the next generation of players.

As official distributors of Franklin and JOOLA across the Caribbean, Island Athletic Co. provides players with access to industry-leading equipment while supporting clubs, coaches, tournaments, and national federations with the resources they need to grow the game.

Founded by Jamaica National Team players Aman Chatani and Kobi Stiebel, alongside entrepreneur Suraj Buxani, Island Athletic Co. was built on the belief that pickleball has the potential to become one of the Caribbean's fastest-growing sports. Together, Aman and Kobi are leveraging the company's platform to develop competitive pathways, strengthen regional partnerships, support athletes, and create more opportunities for people of all ages to discover and enjoy the game.

Whether it's hosting premier international tournaments, expanding access to top-tier equipment, partnering with schools and community organizations, or helping develop the next generation of Caribbean talent, Island Athletic Co.'s mission remains the same: to grow pickleball across the region and establish the Caribbean as a recognized destination for the sport.

We are proud to host the Jamaica International Pickleball Open and look forward to welcoming players, spectators, and partners from around the world as we continue building the future of pickleball in the Caribbean.
