BATON ROUGE, La. - s4story -- Energywise Solutions is proud to announce a new partnership with Pickleball Pros to help pickleball clubs elevate both their playing environment and their visibility in the market.

Through this collaboration, qualifying facilities that invest in an Energywise Court Solutions lighting system package will be eligible to host a special pro clinic experience through Pickleball Pros. The promotion is designed to create momentum around grand openings, renovations, membership growth initiatives, and community-focused events while reinforcing the long-term value of a professionally designed lighting and energy management system.

As pickleball continues to grow, club owners are looking for more than courts alone. They need spaces that feel comfortable, polished, and memorable for members, while also giving them new ways to attract players and families. This partnership addresses both priorities by combining professional-grade lighting and energy management with pro-led programming that helps clubs stand out.

"Energywise Solutions has always believed that our role goes beyond supplying products — it's about helping facilities create environments where people want to gather, compete, and connect," said Scott Van Kerkhove, Co-Founder & CEO of Energywise Solutions. "As a full-scale energy consultant, lighting designer, and supplier, we are constantly looking for ways to bring more energy to the spaces we serve and brighten new opportunities for our clients. This partnership with Pickleball Pros is a natural extension of that mission."

For pickleball clubs, a professionally designed lighting system has a direct impact on member experience, influencing comfort, safety, and overall quality of play. When courts feature reduced glare and balanced illumination, members notice the difference immediately, and that stronger environment can improve satisfaction, encourage repeat visits, and strengthen how players perceive the club brand

The partnership with Pickleball Pros adds a second layer of value by turning a facility upgrade into a marketable event opportunity. Qualifying clubs will be able to host a pro clinic that can generate excitement, increase visibility, and invite current and prospective members into the facility, whether tied to a relighting project, renovation, grand opening, or membership campaign.

"Pickleball clubs today are focused on creating experiences, not just courts," said Chris Bouza, CEO of Pickleball Pros. "By partnering with Energywise Solutions, we have an opportunity to help facilities pair a critical component like lighting and energy management with an experience that generates excitement, encourages participation, and helps clubs connect with their players in a memorable way."

Pro clinics can create value across multiple player segments by giving advanced players access to high-level instruction while also helping beginner players feel more comfortable entering the sport through community-friendly sessions. That opportunity becomes even more important when clubs use these events to reach families and younger players, as kids clinics can introduce the game in a fun, positive setting while creating a stronger connection between the facility and the local community. For many clubs, this can support long-term growth through youth programming, family engagement, and broader community awareness.

As part of that vision, Zane Navratil, a professional pickleball player competing on the PPA Tour and primary instructor with Pickleball Pros, emphasized the broader impact these experiences can have on local clubs and players. "I'm excited to be part of opportunities that help clubs grow the game, create memorable experiences for players, and bring even more visibility to the sport at the local level," said Zane Navratil.

By pairing professional-grade lighting and energy management systems with a high-impact event opportunity, clubs can position themselves as destinations for both quality play and community engagement. That combination gives operators a stronger story to tell, a better environment to showcase, and more ways to attract members across multiple skill levels.

Additional details regarding eligibility, event structure, and promotional timing will be made available directly to interested facilities.
