Pro pickleball out of San José del Cabo, México. In February she won gold at the Houston PPA Challenger; the same month she finished runner-up at the World Pickleball League in Mumbai. Selkirk Sparta contracted pro. Coaches at Cabo Pickleball Pros.
Charlie Treviño is a professional pickleball player based in San José del Cabo, México, and a Selkirk Sparta contracted pro. She plays a control-first game — shot selection over pace, and a lot of attention paid to where an opponent stops being comfortable.
A breakthrough at the inaugural Selkirk Combine in fall 2025 earned her a Sparta contract. In her PPA Challenger debut in Houston she won gold in women's singles — past Jada Bui, Ava Cavataio and Zoey Weil — and bronze in doubles with Allie Reichert. In the same stretch she finished runner-up at the World Pickleball League in Mumbai with the Chennai Super Champs, losing the final 3–2.
“My goal isn't just to hit hard; it's to apply pressure in very specific areas that create indecision.”
Off the court she trains daily under coach Matt PaneGasser — dinks, resets, and third-shot drops before pattern play or live points — and coaches out of Cabo Pickleball Pros. Next up: two PPA stops in September, the Veolia Arizona Open in Mesa and the Grand Rapids Challenger.

Three shots, worked nearly every day of the year before a single live point is played. “For me, it starts with my feet,” she says. “If my feet stop moving, my placement suffers.”
Not a holding shot. She uses it to walk an opponent out of position a step at a time until the court opens up.
It is also what she scouts for. If an opponent struggles to reset out of the air, she says she will attack the body and jam that space to force uncomfortable contact.
The shot that buys the trip forward. Drilled alongside the dink and the reset before any pattern play begins.

“I look for balance and consistency above all,” she says. The carbon face gives her touch on resets and controlled speed-ups; the elongated shape holds its stability under pace.
The paddle she carried into the Sparta contract — picked for its mix of pop and control, and the one that took her through the first stretch of her pro season.
She strips the undergrip and adds two overgrips for a slightly smaller handle — quicker hand speed, and more freedom to change grips mid-rally.
