Charley was clear in breaking down the fundamentals, (how to hold the paddle, where to hit the ball, and how to move around the court). After just one session, I felt more confident and comfortable being on the court. Would recommend Charley for any other beginners looking to get into pickleball! > From Melissa, 5 out of 5 > Charley’s super friendly and patient, which was great for me because i’m a beginner. He provided tailored feedback on areas like paddle positioning and footwork, and made every session feel personal and productive. I highly recommend Charley for anyone looking to improve their game :) > From Laura, 5 out of 5 > The lesson had lots of great tips, which I found pretty helpful in understanding specific techniques. Charley's approach really helped me get a clearer sense of game strategy. I definitely recommend you check out Charley if you’re looking to improve your pickleball game. > From Reni, 5 out of 5 > Charley is a great coach. He helped me improve my DUPR to a 4.8. His focus on mastering third-shot drops and providing customized feedback for my game has been a game-changer. I couldn’t recommend him more to anyone serious about improving their skills. > From Josh, 5 out of 5 > After a summer of lessons with Charley, I played my first tournament and reached a 3.6 DUPR. He gave me detailed tips on refining my serve placement and helped me anticipate opponents’ shots better. I highly recommend him! > From Caleb, 5 out of 5 > After Charles noticed me in rec play, and I’ve grown into a 4.35 in women’s doubles. His coaching on speeding up dead dinks and drive placement has completely transformed my game, making me a much more strategic player. > From Hannah, 5 out of 5 > Charlie was excellent and helping me focus on drills regarding my play at the net in particular working on slowing down the game and using a softer touch with my paddle to help target more competitive play > From Terry, 5 out of 5 > Charley's lesson was amazing. I told him my goals and he quickly pinpointed specific things I need to correct and work on. When I’m back in town I’ll try another lesson soon to build on this foundation. > From Kathryn, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-charley-lei): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/8c40bd52-21a6-4e32-86f6-d1501e41921a): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
