Youth pickleball
in Tenafly.

Tenafly families know racquet sports — there's a reason the public courts at Roosevelt Common stay packed all summer. Pickleball is the natural next step for a Tenafly kid: faster feedback than tennis, more strategy than gym class. We're a 10-minute drive from most of Tenafly, with summer camp mornings out of School #1 in Fort Lee.

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

Why Tenafly kids play with us

Drop the kids off at 9, grab a coffee on Piermont Road, pick them up by noon. The half-day format is built around working Tenafly parents who already have summer schedules to juggle. And the certified-coach + small-group structure will feel familiar if your kid is used to Tenafly Tennis Camp or the rec basketball program.

Little Picklers runs half-day youth pickleball camps about 10 minutes away in Fort Lee — for kids in grades 2–6, grouped by skill, with all equipment included.

For Tenafly parents & PTAs

Bring Little Picklers
to a Tenafly school.

There's no Little Picklers program in a Tenafly 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.

Tenafly parent questions

How long is the drive from Tenafly to Fort Lee for summer camp?
About 10 minutes from most of Tenafly, less from south Tenafly. The summer camp runs 9 AM–12 PM, so traffic is light in both directions.
Will Little Picklers come to Tenafly schools?
We're working toward it. Expansion priority is driven by parent and PTA demand — if you want a Little Picklers after-school at Maugham, Stillman, or Mackay, send us a note and tag your school's principal.
Are most camp kids from Tenafly or Fort Lee?
It's a mix. Roughly half our summer campers come from outside Fort Lee — Tenafly, Englewood, Cresskill — so your child will land in a group with kids from across the area, not just one town's school.
