What students say...

"Chris is great at pointing out what I need to work on and giving useful tips to improve my form, especially regarding my backhand. Though I still need to get the ball to go where I want, I feel more confident about my technique. If I keep practicing, I think I’ll see more progress. Still, I’d consider trying another lesson with Chris to keep developing my skills.

I felt the lesson with Christopher was quite balanced, and I appreciated how he focused on my weaknesses without rushing through. Still, there are a few areas I’d like to see more clarification on, but overall, it’s a good step forward in my pickleball skills. The highlight for me was his subtle approach to improving shot consistency, which made a noticeable difference. Though I’m still working on some aspects, I think with a few more lessons I can really build on what I’ve started. If you’re after a thoughtful coach who’s attentive to details, you might consider giving Christopher a try.

I started lessons with Andrew three months ago with some basic beginner skills, and the 10‑pack was exactly what I needed. He had a clear, structured plan for each session and taught me skills I could practice on my own and then come back to refine with him. He was flexible with where my skill level actually was, but he also challenged me in the right ways. That combination helped me move ahead much faster than I would have on my own. By the end of the 10 lessons, I felt confident playing in social games. Highly recommend him for anyone wanting real progress and solid fundamentals.
