About your pickleball coach

Hi, my name is Chris, and I’ve been playing pickleball for over 3 years with a strong passion for both competition and coaching. I’ve competed at a high level, including the Collegiate National Pickleball Tournament, after earning a bid to qualify. I focus on helping players improve fundamentals, strategy, and confidence, whether they are beginners or more advanced players. My coaching emphasizes clear instruction, game-like drills, and skills that transfer directly to match play. I bring a positive, energetic approach to every lesson and aim to make each session fun, productive, and motivating, helping players enjoy the game while improving quickly.

Ryan Sala
I booked a drill session to work specifically on my third shot drop, and it was honestly one of the most productive hours I’ve spent on the court. The drills were well thought out and adjusted to my skill level, not just generic reps. I got immediate feedback and corrections that made things click right away. By the end of the session, my consistency and confidence had already improved. Highly recommend.
Jack
I was honestly nervous because I’m brand new to pickleball, but this session made everything feel simple. The coach broke down grip, ready position, and a few basic shots in a way that clicked fast, and I actually started keeping rallies going. Super patient, positive, and gave me 2–3 easy things to practice so I don’t feel overwhelmed. I left feeling confident and excited to play again.
Ben
I just started playing pickleball a few weeks ago so I didn’t really know what to do and when to do it. The coach explained the basics step-by-step thinking process and made it feel easy. We did simple drills that actually helped me hit the ball cleaner. Super friendly, and encouraging.
Evan
I’ve been playing a while and felt stuck, but this coaching session gave me real direction. We worked on consistency, 3rd shot drops vs. drives, and better footwork at the kitchen line. The feedback was specific, and the drills matched exactly what I mess up in games.
Kristan
We focused on pace changes, attacking patterns, hand speed in firefights, and smarter resets when out of position. Chris picked up small technical issues right away and corrected them. I walked out with adjustments I can use immediately in the future.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI start by asking your goals and quickly covering the basics (scoring, kitchen rule, and serve rules). We build your foundation: grip, ready position, etc. Then we work on simple control with serves, returns, dinks, and easy volleys/blocks. We finish with a few guided points so you leave knowing what to do in a real game.
Lesson 11+From here it’s personalized based on what you need most. We sharpen your drops/resets, net battles, and controlled speed-ups/counters. Training becomes more situational with pressure drills and strategy patterns. The goal is fewer unforced errors, better decisions, and stronger performance in real games.
Lesson 4-10Now we build your “game” skills: steady dinking, 3rd shot drop basics, and transitioning from baseline to the kitchen. You’ll learn when to drop vs. drive and how to reset under pressure. We add doubles strategy like moving as a team, communication, and smart shot selection. Most sessions include game-like drills plus live points.
Lesson 2-3These lessons focus on consistency and confidence. We tighten up serve/return, and basic volley control while improving footwork and positioning. You’ll learn when to move up to the kitchen line and how to play safer, higher-percentage shots. We end with coached point play to apply everything.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWe start with a quick assessment (dinks, drops, drives, resets, speed-ups, and hand battles). Then we pick 1–2 priority skills and set clear goals (ex: reduce pop-ups, win more kitchen exchanges, improve 3rd/5th decision-making). Drills are game-like and include pressure/scoring so it translates immediately.
Lesson 11+From here it’s fully customized to your goals (tournament prep, DUPR improvement, partner chemistry, or specific weaknesses). I can track your progress with simple metrics (unforced errors, successful resets, 3rd/5th efficiency, and points won at the kitchen). The goal is cleaner decision-making, stronger execution, and winning more tight games.
Lesson 4-10This is where we build consistency under speed and pressure: advanced dinking patterns, attack timing, counters, and winning hands exchanges. We focus on transition mastery (resets, moving forward safely, and turning defense into offense). Strategy becomes more specific—targeting, exploiting matchups, and building points with patterns (3rd/5th, crosscourt control, middle usage).
Lesson 2-3We sharpen your biggest gaps with high-rep, high-pressure drills (resets, transition zone, countering, and defending speed-ups). You’ll learn better shot selection—when to drop, drive, speed up, or reset—based on the ball you’re given. We also work on positioning and partner communication to win more points at the kitchen line.
What you need to bringBring a paddle if you own one (I have loaners), court shoes, water, and comfortable athletic clothing. If you have specific goals or a skill you want to improve, let me know before we start.
What I can bringI can provide extra paddles for new players, indoor/outdoor balls, cones/targets for drills, and structured lesson plans based on your goals (dinks, drops, drives, serves/returns, positioning, strategy).
