Every question we have been asked, answered plainly.

Membership is for pickleball players who are 30 and up. The club is a private social club, so members join as individuals and confirm their age when they sign up. Beyond that there is no test to pass: every level from brand new to 4.0 is welcome.

Founding membership is $99 per year. That is the launch-season rate for the members who join before the first play calendar goes out. It is billed once a year, not monthly.

Our launch plan is a simple annual membership that you choose to renew each year. We will confirm the exact renewal terms, including whether the founding rate carries forward, before anyone is charged a second time.

The refund terms are being written as part of the launch plan and will be published on this page before the checkout opens. If you join the founding list today there is no charge, so there is nothing to refund.

Guest rules are part of the launch plan and are being confirmed. Our intention is that members can bring an occasional guest who is 30 and up to a social or an open-play session. We will publish the rule before the first session.

All of them, from 2.0 (learning the basics) through 4.0 (strong, consistent play). Our launch plan groups open play by level so a beginner morning and a 3.5 morning feel different, and both feel right.

Our launch-season plan includes organised open play by level, socials, round-robins, clinics and an opt-in members directory. Which activities carry an extra charge, and the exact schedule, are being confirmed and founding members hear first.

No. The club does not own or reserve courts. Our launch plan meets at public courts across Naples, where any court fee is paid to the park, not to the club. Membership pays for the organising, the levels, the calendar and the company.

Our launch-season plan starts at public courts like East Naples Community Park, Veterans Community Park and Fleischmann Park. These are public parks, not club facilities, and the club has no arrangement with any of them. The exact venues and days are being confirmed.

You tell us where you are, using the standard 2.0 to 4.0 scale, and we place you in a session that matches. If a morning feels too easy or too hard, say so and we move you. Nobody is tested and nobody is stuck.

A paddle, a couple of outdoor balls, court shoes, water, a hat or visor and sunscreen. If you do not own a paddle yet, tell us on the founding list and we will plan a way to borrow one for a first morning.

Yes. Being new to pickleball is not a barrier, being under 30 is. Read our guide for new players, then join the founding list and mark yourself as brand new. Our launch plan includes a gentle first session and clinics.

Dates are announced to founding members first, by email, as the season plan firms up. Nothing on this site is a confirmed date yet. The launch season is 2026-27.

Our launch plan is that most socials are included, and that a ticketed event, like a dinner, would be priced separately and made clear in advance. This is being confirmed.

No. Socials are for members, whether or not they played that morning. Several people join a club like this for the company first and the game second, and that is fine.

Because the club is built for grown-up schedules: people with work, family or retirement in the week who want good pickleball and good company without organising it themselves. Thirty and up is simply the membership rule of a private social club. No stereotypes, no assumptions about what anyone can do.

The founding members. Paradise Coast Pickleball Club is a new private social club launching in Naples for the 2026-27 season. It is not a facility, not a league operator and not a park, and it is independent of its sponsor.

Paradise Coast Pickleball Club is the working name while the club launches. If the name changes, your membership and everything on this site carry over unchanged.

Through the contact form on this site, or by email at hello@pcpc.club. The club does not publish a phone number yet, and we will never ask for information we do not need.

Derek Wimmer, PA and Wimmer Regenerative Orthopedics, based in Bonita Springs. Their support helps a brand-new club launch with a real plan. You can read our thank you on the sponsors page.

No. The club is independent. The sponsor does not run the club, does not receive member information and does not decide who joins. This site makes no medical claims of any kind.

Possibly. If you would like to support the club, use the contact form and choose the Sponsorship topic. We are a small club with a clear plan, and we say thank you in public.

Public thanks: a named place on this page, a line in the footer of every page, and a thank-you in launch communications and at the events their support makes possible. Our launch plan describes sponsorship in tiers; the exact recognition for each tier is being written with the first sponsors and will be published here.

Never. Members' names, emails, levels and messages stay with the club. A sponsor is thanked in public and hears how the season went; they do not receive lists, introductions or data of any kind.

No. Sponsorship is support for a community club, in both directions a thank-you and nothing more. This site names the sponsor, says where they are and links to their website. It makes no claims about them, and they make none through us.
