Youth pickleball
in Closter.
Closter families know good programming when they see it — between the rec leagues, weekend activities at Closter Plaza, and a strong K-8 school district, the bar is high. We meet it differently: small group sizes, real progression, taught by a 13+ year educator. Camp is about 18 minutes south in Fort Lee.
- ● 18 min from Closter
- ● Grades 2–6, by skill level
- ● All equipment included
- ● Built by a 13+ year educator
Why Closter kids play with us
Closter doesn't need another generic afternoon babysitter — it needs a program kids actually want to come back to. We group by skill, not grade. We run a real end-of-week tournament. We bring the paddles. If you'd like Little Picklers at one of Closter's K-8 buildings this fall, a PTA introduction is the fastest path.

Looking for a summer camp, after-school sports, or a kids' sports program in Closter? Little Picklers runs half-day youth pickleball camps about 18 minutes away in Fort Lee — for kids in grades 2–6, grouped by skill, with all equipment included. It's an easy, welcoming first sport: Closter kids are rallying and having fun by the end of week one. New to it? See our guide on what age kids can start pickleball.
Summer camp is pay-by-the-week ($250 each), and we run after-school pickleball during the school year too. Want the program at a Closter school? Tell us about your school.
For Closter parents & PTAs
Bring Little Picklers
to a Closter school.
There's no Little Picklers program in a Closter 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.
