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 2–6, 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 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.
