About Bergen County
Bergen County is the most populous county in New Jersey and is split into 70 small municipalities, each with its own rec department, school fields and travel programs. Towns like Ridgewood, Paramus, Teaneck and Fort Lee sit a few minutes apart, so a coach based in one of them can realistically serve a dozen others. Field and gym time is competitive year round, and indoor space in winter books up early.
