Chris is a fantastic pickleball instructor! He quickly picks up on the areas I need to improve and does an excellent job explaining and demonstrating how to fix my form and strokes. It certainly helps that he’s such a strong player himself. I also really enjoy the drills he incorporates, making every session fun too! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does!
Stephanie C.
Chris is an outstanding pickleball instructor who is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly encouraging with players of all skill levels. He’s also a great pickleball player and a fun, kind, easygoing guy to have on the court.

Chris is very knowledgeable about sports, a great coach and great teammate. He gives great advice and takes accountability for any mistakes he may make like a bad pass.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFirst we'll learn the basics of the game, including the rules “of engagement”, the scoring methodology, and basic positioning. We'll also focus on fundamental skills like various grips, athletic stance/ready position at various places on the court, and basic strokes to get you started on the right foot.
Lesson 11+Finally we'll put your skills to the test with guided game play, incorporating all the techniques and strategies you ve learned. We'll also introduce you to advanced shots like lobs and spins, and fine-tune your overall game performance to prepare you for competitive play.
Lesson 4-10Now we'll focus on improving your shot accuracy and placement while learning key strategies for both singles and doubles play. We'll work on your volleys, dinks, and game tactics to increase your confidence and effectiveness on the court.
Lesson 2-3Next we'll build on your initial skills by refining your forehand and backhand strokes, and start practicing consistent serves. We'll also introduce you to court positioning and basic footwork to enhance your game play.
What you need to bringA smile and a can-do, coachable attitude! Please and thank you; additionally, if you have your own, preferred pickleball paddle, that works too.
What I can bringPaddles, pickleballs, a portable net, in essence—the works!A smil
