Welcome to the Crew
Join our local youth fishing club in Pittsford, NY, where kids ages 9–13 catch more than just fish. We focus on patience, sportsmanship, and making new friends. Whether you are a pro or a beginner, everyone is welcome—including neurodivergent kids with ADHD, autism, or anxiety. We believe in belonging and having fun outside, rather than just worrying about the size of the catch. Come grow as an angler and as a person with us.
What to Prepare
• Who: Open to ages 9–13 of all skill levels • Attendance: A parent or guardian must be present • Gear: Please bring a fishing rod, bait, and a signed copy of our Crew Code
• Essentials: Pack a water bottle and healthy snacks • Atmosphere: We offer a friendly, structured setting where every young angler can thrive with the support of their families
Inclusivity
Our crew is a calm space for all unique minds, including kids with ADHD, autism, or anxiety. We respect every child's pace and way of focusing, welcoming fidget tools and breaks so everyone can participate in the way that feels best for them.
Our Core Values
Growth
At Pittsford Reel Crew, we learn patience, skills, and sportsmanship. Together, we grow as talented anglers and kindhearted people.
