“Had my first lesson with Chuck and left excited to schedule the next. Chuck arrived early to our lesson and was waiting and ready when I arrived. Because the courts are outdoors, our originally scheduled day had to be rescheduled due to extreme wind. Chuck was understanding in accommodating the schedule change and promptly responded to my request by offering another day and time. As an instructor, I found him to be patient, insightful and supportive providing me with guidance and tips on how to improve my game. He was encouraging yet constructive in his feedback. Im looking forward to my next lesson. ”

Though there's quite a bit to digest from the lesson, I found Chuck's focus on serving, paddle hold, and movement quite helpful. The lesson worked well for me, especially in understanding stance and point counting. Still, I know I need to follow through more diligently. Anyway, I’d say his coaching is steady and practical, and I’ll definitely try to build on what I learned. If you're after a well-structured lesson that covers the fundamentals, Chuck’s worth considering.

Chuck is an excellent coach. My husband and I had never played Pickleball so we needed to learn the basics. Chuck was patient and attentive to our progress. He praised what we did correctly, gave us instructions to improve our serving, dinking, and volleying skills, and clearly explained the rules of play. We feel we have a good foundation to move along with practicing on our own. We recommend Chuck for probably any playing level as he does play competitively.

Well, I’d say Chuck really paid attention to the details of my strategy, especially working on my backhand, which was pretty weak before. Still, I’m hoping to finalize some ideas so I can better practice each part we discussed last lesson. It’s been quite helpful to focus on specific strokes rather than just general play. Anyway, I feel like I’ve made some decent progress and look forward to building on that next time.

I had my first hour lesson with Chuck this week. We reviewed grip, swing mechanics and basic rules. We practiced dinking, serving and basic shots. Chuck was very knowledgeable and patient. He allowed me to try several paddles and even take two to use for a week. I have already scheduled my second lesson with Chuck

I am ready for my third lesson from Chuck. He taught me several important, basic features like grip and stance and paddle readiness. We have practiced dinks, volleys and serves. He most recently taught me how and when to do a lob shot. All great things that build confidence
