GIVE PLAYERS A
REASON TO VISIT
We're after Wānaka hospitality venues and others to host or shout our players after a session — a free round of chips, a discounted first pint, or a prize for the night. Casual, low-cost, and a great way to get locals through your door.
Why partner
Pickleball builds a thirst
Every session ends with a group of social, active locals looking for somewhere to refuel and unwind. The right hospitality partner becomes part of that ritual.
Hungry, thirsty crowd
Up to 32 players finish each session ready to eat, drink and socialise. Be the obvious place for them to head next.
Guaranteed foot traffic
Ten weeks of regular sessions means a reliable, repeating stream of locals walking through your door all season.
Genuine local goodwill
Backing a community-run league earns real loyalty, not just impressions. Players remember and reward who supports them.
Named to the league
We mention partners on our socials, in our prizes and on the website — no big signage spend or commitment required.
Ways to get involved
Sponsorship opportunities
It's all casual and low-cost for now — pick what suits your venue and budget. We're mainly after hospitality partners, but we'd love to hear from any local business keen to back the league.
