Pickleball Lessons in Winthrop, Massachusetts

Coming from a background in ping pong, Charley quickly became fond of pickleball during the tail end of COVID, gathering people from his church to play. Years later, as a World Pickleball Tour National Champion (January 2025) with a 4.5+ DUPR rating, Charley has reached the pinnacle of amateur competitive pickleball. With a Massachusetts teaching license and two years of coaching experience, he is passionate about helping players of all skill levels and age groups refine their techniques and develop a deeper love for the game. Additionally, he leads a weekly group and provides extra repetition with a ball-serving machine to maximize practice and improvement.

As a passionate pickleball enthusiast and experienced tennis coach, I bring deep understanding of strategy, technique, and player development to the game. With years of coaching high-performance tennis players, my transition to pickleball was a natural evolution - one fueled by a love for competition, community and continuous learning. A major emphasis will be placed on placing the trainee on a path of self discovery for developing the student's ability to solve problems independently.

I love the friendly environment that comes with playing pickleball, and I strongly believe that it is one of the most unique sports, due to its ability to be learned quickly without much previous experience. I’m extremely patient, can work with individuals at any skill level, and can tailor lessons to individual needs/goals. Most importantly, I love pickleball and bring this passion to any and all pickleball-related events. If you’re a beginner or have never even touched a pickleball paddle, within a short amount of time you’ll be able to rally and start winning points. If you’re more advanced, you’ll perfect you’re serve, spin, and net game. All ages and skill levels welcome!
