Founding support helps a new private social club for pickleball players 30 and up launch in Naples with organised play, socials and clinics in its first season. The club is independent: the sponsor does not run it, and this site makes no medical claims. | Item | Detail | | --- | --- | | Founding sponsor | Wimmer Regenerative Orthopedics | | Led by | Derek Wimmer, PA (physician assistant) | | Location | 3380 Woods Edge Circle #104, Bonita Springs, FL 34134 | | Phone | (239) 829-4300 | | Website | wimmerorthopedics.com (opens in a new tab) | | Role | Founding sponsor only.

The practice is led by Derek Wimmer, PA. Its office is at 3380 Woods Edge Circle #104, Bonita Springs, FL 34134, the phone number is (239) 829-4300, and the website is [wimmerorthopedics.com](https://wimmerorthopedics.com). That is the whole of what this page says about the practice, on purpose: this is a pickleball club's website, and the right place to learn about an orthopedic practice is the practice's own site. ## The story of founding support Every club starts as a conversation. This one started with a handful of Naples players who kept solving the same problem for their friends: who is playing Tuesday, at which courts, at what level, and who is bringing the balls. The founding members decided to solve it once, for a club, and the first thing they needed was not a court. It was someone to believe the club was worth starting. Derek Wimmer, PA said yes before there was a website to look at, a calendar to read or a member to point to. The founding members put the ask plainly: a private social club for pickleball players who are 30 and up, organised play by level, socials, round-robins and clinics, and a launch season of 2026-27. The answer was a founding sponsorship. [WILLIAM TO CONFIRM: when the sponsorship was agreed and for how many seasons] Founding sponsor is a title that only one business can hold, because it names the one that came first. Other businesses can support the club and will be thanked just as publicly, in the tiers described below. Nobody else can be the first. ## What founding support makes possible A club with no clubhouse still has costs before it has members. Founding support covers some of them. [WILLIAM TO CONFIRM: what the sponsorship funds] In plain terms, the launch plan has the founding sponsorship helping to pay for: - The website you are reading. Its build, its hosting and the machinery behind the founding list and the contact form. [WILLIAM TO CONFIRM: sponsorship covers website costs] - Launch communications. The emails that carry the play calendar to founding members, the printed cards members hand to friends at the courts, and the club's first season of social posts. [WILLIAM TO CONFIRM: sponsorship covers launch communications] - First-season organising. Balls and cones for clinics, a table and citrus water at a social, and whatever it takes to make a host's morning run on time. [WILLIAM TO CONFIRM: sponsorship covers first-season organising costs] It also makes possible something less practical. A new club asking people to trust it is easier to trust when a local business already has. Derek Wimmer, PA did not sponsor a track record; there was not one. They sponsored an idea about good company for people who are 30 and up, and we intend to be worth it. The club is independent. The sponsor does not run the club, does not receive member information and does not decide who joins. This website makes no medical claims and gives no medical advice. ## How sponsorship of the club works Our launch plan describes sponsorship in four simple tiers. None of them is a menu with prices on this page; the amounts and the exact recognition for each tier are being written with the first sponsors and will be published before a second sponsor signs. [WILLIAM TO CONFIRM: tier names, amounts and recognition] - **Founding sponsor:** One business, the first to say yes. Named on this page, in the footer of every page, and in the club's launch communications for the founding season. This tier is taken, by Wimmer Regenerative Orthopedics. - **Season sponsor (launch plan):** Support for a full season of organised play. Thanked on this page and at the season's socials and round-robins. - **Event sponsor (launch plan):** Support for one social, round-robin or the season round-robin. Thanked on the event's calendar entry and on the day. - **Clinic sponsor (launch plan):** Support for a run of clinics for new and improving players: balls, cones and the host's time. Thanked on the clinic calendar and to the players who attend. Every tier gets the same three things: a public thank-you, an honest account of what the support paid for, and a club that keeps its word. Every tier is also bound by the same limits. ## What sponsors never get - Member data. Names, emails, levels, messages and the members directory stay with the club. No lists, no introductions, no access, at any tier. - Medical positioning. This site and the club's communications never describe a sponsor's services, results or advice, and never suggest that joining the club is a route to any treatment. A sponsor is named, located and linked. That is all. - Control of the club. Sponsors do not decide who joins, how sessions run, which courts the plan uses or what the club says. The founding members do. - Exclusivity by category, unless agreed in writing. The founding sponsor holds the founding title; other arrangements are written down before they are promised. [WILLIAM TO CONFIRM: whether category exclusivity is offered] ## How to become a sponsor We are a small club with a clear plan and we say thank you in public. If your business would like to support the club, here is the whole process. - Use the [contact form](/contact) and choose the Sponsorship topic. Say who you are, what you do and which tier interests you. Two or three sentences is plenty. - We reply by email with the launch-plan tier sheet once it is written, and a plain description of what your support would pay for. - We agree it in writing. The tier, the season, the recognition and the limits above, on one page. - We say thank you. Here, in the footer, and at the events your support makes possible. ## Sponsor questions **Q.
