Premier Youth Sports and Leadership Organization Establishes Third Facility in Florida and Fourth Facility in the US
BOCA RATON, FL, Nov. 13, 2025 /Prowly/
Dragons Elite Athletics, a premier youth athletics and leadership organization, has announced its expansion into West Palm Beach following the consistently high demand for its unique and powerful development focused model. This is another significant milestone for the organization as the location in West Palm Beach marks the third Dragons Elite facility within Florida and the fourth nationwide – placing the company on the right track towards their goal of serving communities across the country.
After receiving financial backing from multi-phased investment firm Black Dragon Capital℠, Dragons Elite Athletics has selected West Palm Beach as the next stop on their journey towards their mission of building athletes on and off the field.
Dragons Elite Athletics Expands to West Palm Beach: New Facility, New Coaches, New Teams – Same Development Focused Model
Dragons Elite Athletics represents a new concept in youth athletic organizations, providing professionally managed, high-performance training and a clear, structured development path for athletes in a nurturing environment free from favoritism and politics. Using its proprietary Dragons Elite Performance Framework and The Dragon Way methodology, every athlete receives individualized guidance, building leadership, discipline, and a foundation for lifelong excellence.
With the addition of the Dragons Elite facility in West Palm Beach, developing athletes and their parents can expect to hear more from the organization in the future. The expansion includes the addition of new coaches and new teams ready to take promising young athletes on a development journey unlike any other.
Coach Shaun Garceau, Professional Baseball Coach, Former Pro Pitcher, and Founder of SGB Training, has joined Dragons Elite. He is a former professional pitcher and current baseball coach known for developing players of all ages — from T-ball beginners to professional athletes. A Cuban-American native of Palm Beach County, Garceau was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2005 out of high school, turning down a full scholarship to the University of Alabama to begin his professional career.
As a top prospect within the Cardinals organization, Shaun earned the opportunity to pitch with the Major League team during spring training and went on to play five seasons in the Cardinals’ minor league system. He then spent the next five years pitching internationally in Taiwan, Puerto Rico, and Mexico, facing elite international competition and earning recognition for his command, competitiveness, and leadership. Over his career, he threw three professional complete-game shutouts and became known for his relentless work ethic and dedication to player development.
After retiring from professional baseball, Shaun began giving private lessons and coaching on the travel ball circuit, where he worked with some of the nation’s top programs and prospects — coaching the highest level of talent including current MLB star Nolan Shanuel (Angels), and top prospects Nazier Mule (Cubs) and Charlie Soto(Twins), Caleb Pendelton(Angels).
Shaun went on to found SGB Training, which has grown into the largest baseball and softball training academy in West Palm Beach. The facility offers professional-level instruction, youth development programs, and advanced player training systems that have helped dozens of athletes earn college and professional opportunities.
