Private Lessons With Charles Neufeldt

 
Originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Charles Neufeldt moved to BC in 2011. It was in North Vancouver, that he was fortunate enough to discover his new passion – pickleball! Charles is now a full time pickleball coach and player with businesses centered on the sport with which he has fallen in love. Charles is often a sponsor or exhibitor at local tournaments.

Charles, who was an elite badminton player in his youth, has been coaching the past 16 years. In fact, he was appointed the North American Indigenous Games’ Head Coach for the 2017 Badminton Team BC and subsequently reappointed for the 2020 Games. Charles has multiple certifications through the National Coaching Certification Program, including coach development.

     

As such, it was natural for Charles to transition to coaching pickleball, which he has obtained a Level 2 Certification with the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association. He now offers group clinics and individual sessions to players of various levels throughout the Lower Mainland as well in other provinces . As a coach and player, Charles is progressive and dynamic and he understands that the game is evolving constantly in terms of strategies and techniques.

Charles has many exciting things lined up for 2021. His goal includes competing more in the Pro division and is looking forward to playing in the US OPEN in Naples. In addition, Charles and his mixed partner, Karina Michaud, will be traveling across the World offering clinics to others who share their love for this fast-growing game with a crazy name.

When asked what he likes the most about pickleball, Charles says, “Pickleball is more than just a sport, it’s a community, it’s about the people you meet. I also love traveling and I can't believe I'm lucky enough to be able to travel and play pickleball."
