Youth pickleball
in Cliffside Park.

Cliffside Park is one of the densest towns in Bergen — kids on every block, palisades views from half the windows, no shortage of grade-school energy looking for a place to go after the bell. Our Fort Lee camp is 7 minutes north of Cliffside, and an in-town after-school program is the natural next step we're working toward.

  • 7 min from Cliffside Park
  • Grades 2–6, by skill level
  • All equipment included
  • Built by a 13+ year educator

For Cliffside Park parents & PTAs

Bring Little Picklers
to a Cliffside Park school.

There's no Little Picklers program in a Cliffside Park school yet — but that's exactly what we're working to change. The next schools we go into are the ones where one parent picks up the phone.

What we bring

  • • All paddles, balls, and portable nets
  • • A 13+ year educator running the curriculum
  • • Grades 2–6 lesson plans, ready to run
  • • General liability insurance
  • • Registration, payment, and parent comms

What we need from your school

  • • A gym or multi-purpose room
  • • A time slot — after-school, PE block, or weekend
  • • An intro to the principal or PTA president
  • • A spot on the parent newsletter when we launch

No budget line. No staff time. No equipment storage.

We're still building out the standard playbook — we'll shape the format around what works for your school, whether that's an after-school session, a PE enrichment block, or a weekend clinic.

Cliffside Park parent questions

How far is Fort Lee from Cliffside Park?
About 7 minutes. Most Cliffside families take Anderson Avenue or Edgewater Road north.
Will Little Picklers come to a Cliffside Park school?
Any of Cliffside's elementary buildings — we'd be thrilled. The schools form below is the right place to flag your school.
Is there a language barrier?
No. Coaching is in English, but pickleball is visual and physical — kids learn by playing. We've worked with campers from a wide range of language backgrounds; grouping is by skill, never by language.
