Group pickleball lessons in Gastonia, North Carolina

I’ve been taking pickleball coaching lessons with Charenz since June 2026, and I’ve had a great experience! He is a knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging coach who takes the time to understand my skill level and areas where I need improvement. Since working with him, I’ve noticed a big improvement in my game, especially with my technique, consistency, shot selection, and confidence on the court. What I appreciate most is that Charenz doesn’t just teach you how to hit the ball he explains the strategy and the “why” behind each shot, which has helped me understand the game much better. He creates a positive and fun learning environment while still challenging me to improve. I always leave each lesson feeling like I learned something new and have something specific to work on. I highly recommend Charenz to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player looking to take your game to the next level. He’s an excellent coach and truly cares about his students’ progress!

Charenz is a great coach because he is a great player. Although he can hit every shot, what makes him formidable on the court is his ability to recognize patterns and use those to his strengths. He can adjust at a moments notice and adapt to any play style. As a coach, he is able to focus not just on technique, but how players understand the game, and use not only technique and mechanics, but mental skills to play winning and intentional pickleball. I highly recommend Charenz to those who are trying to grow their pickleball game. But be prepared, you will improve and you may need to find stronger groups to play in xD

Charenz is a great instructor. He really understands the mechanics of the game and was able to assess what my needs are. He gives constructive feedbacks and explanations that are not overwhelming. He shows his passion with this game. And I appreciate all the pointers that he gives to be a better pickleball player. I also like the written handouts that he provided for additional learning that I can browse during free time. I have learned so much from his lessons!

Absolutely fantastic coaching! Charenz brings so much energy, knowledge, and positivity to every session. He spots the small details that make a big difference - grip, footwork, shot selection - and helps me correct them without ever feeling overwhelmed. I am playing smarter, faster, and with way more confidence now. Thanks to Charenz! I highly recommend Charenz for players at any level who wants to level up their game.😃

Charenz is great at analyzing how you move and can easily tell you what to improve, what to keep doing, and what to perfect. I’ve only had lessons with him online, so I had to send him videos of me playing, and from there, he knew how to help. He is really a good player, so you know he is very dedicated to this work, that is helping you also do the best you can in pickleball! He’s got awesome vibes as a coach too!

Training with Charenz has been a great experience. He explains each skill clearly and makes sure the fundamentals are strong before introducing more advanced techniques. His coaching is personalized, patient, and focused on what each player needs to improve. Everything he teaches has a purpose, and I have seen a noticeable difference in my confidence, consistency, and overall game.
