Hackensack, NJ 07601 • Bergen County

Youth pickleball
in Hackensack.

Hackensack is the county seat — busy, dense, full of working families and grade-school kids who could use a real sports program built around their schedules. Camp lives in Fort Lee for now, about 20 minutes east of most of Hackensack. We're working toward in-town after-school options.

  • 20 min from Hackensack
  • Grades 3–6, by skill level
  • All equipment included
  • Built by a 13+ year educator

Why Hackensack kids play with us

Hackensack Public Schools serves thousands of kids across multiple buildings — that's a lot of kids who would thrive with structured pickleball after the bell. We're a small program, but we expand intentionally, and Hackensack is exactly the kind of district we'd love to partner with. PTA or district-office contacts move us up the line.

For Hackensack parents & PTAs

Bring Little Picklers
to a Hackensack school.

There's no Little Picklers program in a Hackensack 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 3–6 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.

Hackensack parent questions

How far is Fort Lee summer camp from Hackensack?
About 20 minutes east, depending on where in Hackensack you're starting from. Route 4 is the fastest.
Could Little Picklers come to a Hackensack school?
Yes — any of the elementary buildings or the middle schools. We'd love an intro to a principal or district enrichment coordinator.
What's the cost for after-school?
$25 per session at our current Fort Lee site, drop-in, no contract. Pricing for school-based programs gets worked out with the PTA when we set them up.
