His natural connection with students paired with 7 years of experience as a coach/sports director across Pickleball, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, and Spikeball creates an environment that is both comfortable and potential-tapping.

I felt much more confident in my ball control and although I still need to work on improving my top spin, I'm optimistic about applying what I learned. I’d highly recommend Chris for a lesson that will leave you better by the time you leave.

I’ve worked with kids and tweens quite a bit. The biggest factor I look out for is attitude. I believe in a firm yet encouraging approach, whether it’s young picklers or a more advanced one. Kids need to be encouraged and worked with their strengths more, and that is something I love doing!
