Whether you're practically a pickleball profesh or looking to take up the hottest sport to light up Bergen County and beyond, you may have noticed getting court time can be hard to come by. If you've found yourself in the situation only to swing and miss, two new pickleball spots just opened up around the area to give you the time and space to get your game on.
In Tenafly, head to Bergen County Pickleball Club to grab one of four state-of-the-art courts, where you can reserve open court time, sign up for the free beginner's clinic, get involved in a league, and so much more. For those interested in open play, whether you're new to the game or advanced in your skills, you'll be matched with players of similar skill level in a 14-minute timed game, so you can enjoy a competitive game.
Clinics (aka an ultimate crash course) for a range of abilities and ages run throughout the week for 60 to 90 minutes to hone your skills. If you're looking for more personal attention to your training, sign up for one of the small group or private lessons with a BCPC Pro Coach.
Along with the four courts available, playing at Bergen County Pickleball Club gives you access to its cushioned court surface, the players loung, a card area, the observation lounge, the pro shop, and the recovery zone. To book, you can choose from memberships that include private court rentals and clinics to free starter memberships and open play-only memberships. And keep your eye out for special upcoming events like Cardio Pickle, Courts & Coffee, Rosé & Rally, BYOB Night, and Glow in the Dark Night.
In another part of Bergen County, be one of the first to try out the just-opened Prestige Pickleball Club in Northvale. The indoor space boasts five regulation-size courts plus a practice area where you can hone your drop shots, serves, and other skills of the sport. Before or after your game, relax at the furnished lounge area which lets you watch other games being played and catch up with teammates.
Prestige Pickleball Club caters to players of all abilities, whether you're just starting out on your pickleball journey or have been playing for years. Membership options include family memberships, individual, senior, and snow bird which gives you discounted access to open play, private court time, and more. Or for less of a commitment, basic members can reserve court time up to 10 days in advance. Book a private court, open play, weekly clinics, or as-you-go clinics.
The space also hosts birthday parties and large events, or your can visit during one of their special events like the upcoming Shamrock Showdown happening March 15 to March 17, which is a tournament for levels 3.0 to 4.5.
