Cathy
Charles has been coaching me for two years. During that time, he also jointly coached me and a teammate to help improve our teamwork and strategy for tournaments. Charles thoughtful approach and coaching tailored to my needs and limitations have greatly enhanced my pickleball skills and abilities. His lessons are strategic and well-structured in a way that ensures weekly improvement and development. While the instruction is sometimes rigorous, I am also having a lot of fun during the process. Charles lessons have provided the guidance and focus necessary to develop into a better, more strategic player.
Debbie
Charles has been key in my progression from a beginner to an intermediate pickleball player. He quickly assessed my weaknesses and provided fun, specific, targeted drills that addressed not only my individual challenges but those of playing as a team with my league partner. His insights into technique and strategy have been invaluable and I’ve seen a HUGE improvement in my overall consistency. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to take their game to the next level. Thank you, Charles.
Byron
Thanks for the clear direction and high intensity lessons. Your ability to find the minor adjustments needed to play more efficiently is much appreciated. I can’t believe how my soft game has improved with your help.
Becky
Coach Charles has been instrumental in helping me improve my pickleball skills. He focuses not only on technique but also on strategy and mindset, which has made a huge difference in my performance. His lessons are always well-structured, with clear demonstrations and constructive feedback. He’s professional, supportive, and tailors his coaching to each player’s level. I’ve seen noticeable progress in a short amount of time, and I’m grateful for his guidance!🌹
Gloria
Thank you so much for the private lessons and for helping me with my paddle. I’m constantly learning new techniques and making progress every time. I really appreciate your guidance.
Darryl
Thanks for helping making this process fun and intuitive. Your ability to find ways to teach how to physically prepare for the workouts is impressive. Can’t wait for our next lesson.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonDuring your first lesson I will:
Assess your athleticism and your physical fitness during the warm-up exercise phase. This will give me the road map towards your progress.
Cover the safety aspects of the game including how to move and flow on the court.
Discuss how to properly grip the paddle including your stance and posture.
Cover fundamentals including Paddle Bumps, Dinks, Volleys, Serves, Returns.
Rules and game play including the importance of getting to the “kitchen”.
Play a couple of games!!
Cool Down
Lesson 11+The subsequent lessons will focuss more time on fewer items looking to improve the aspects that hinder you the most.
Your comfort and confidence levels will soar as we start to focus on the strategy of the game and how to “set up” your opponents and put them in uncomfortable positions on the court.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 we’ll be stepping up the intensity by creating a “live Scenario” setting for every drill and also learning how to master the transition zone and the non-volley zone so that you can play aggressively and with patience on offense and defense.
Lesson 2-3During the next few lessons, we will begin to introduce a drill based approach where we will focus on fundamentals of the game by repetition. Repetition of good fundamentals is key to sustainable improvement.
We will cover each of the following items in detail:
Dinks, Volleys, Serves, Returns and Top Spin, game strategy and techniques etc.
Youth players
Working with kidsI focus on helping them build confidence in themselves while working on core fundamentals including concentration, hand / eye and physical coordination and endurance. I also try to find ways to help them trust the process and love the game.
Working with teenagersOnce I establish what their goals and baseline skills are, I can use their initial motivation to customize lesson plans that help them understand the value of the fundamental building blocks of the game. I also focus on finding ways to transform their interest in the game into passion for the game.
What you need to bringProtective eyewear, paddles, court shoes, water and plenty of energy!!
What I can bringPaddles (2), targets, pickleball machine for specific drills and skill levels.
