II work mostly with beginners who just want to feel comfortable and actually enjoy playing.
If you’ve ever shown up to open play and felt unsure what to do — where to stand, how to keep a rally going, or even how scoring works — you’re not alone.
That’s exactly what these clinics fix.
I keep things simple, practical, and focused on real game situations so you can:
Keep the ball in play
Know where to be on the court
Start playing actual games with confidence
Whether you’re brand new or just getting started, I’ll meet you where you are and help you improve right away.

"I really enjoyed taking pickleball classes with Christopher. He's easygoing, patient, and clearly knows his stuff. He explains things in a simple way that actually makes sense, and he takes the time to help everyone improve, no matter their level."
"Coach Chris is great! He does an excellent job at breaking drills down into small, manageable pieces, and then tying it all together so it actually makes sense in real games. He is very patient, easy to learn from, and explains things in a way that sticks."
"Highly recommend Coach Chris! He breaks down strategy and technique in a simple way. Every session, I feel like I'm becoming a better pickleball player. He also makes his own paddles which are really quality. Looking forward to doing more pickleball lessons!"
"As a beginner I was a bit nervous to get out and play so decided to take some lessons. Chris has a gift for teaching which made me feel comfortable and confident in my abilities. I am winning more games and having fun because of his coaching. Thanks Chris!"
"I have been working with Chris for about a month now and have greatly improved my game. I have a new serve that is pretty consistent and so much better thanks to Chris. I'm moving about the court better because of his coaching and I continue to improve every session."
"I was nervous starting lessons, but Chris made me feel comfortable from day one. He's patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. After just a few weeks, people I play with started asking what I was doing differently."
Yes! These clinics are great for beginners and early intermediate players. We’ll start with the rules and basics, then move into simple drills and guided play so you feel comfortable on the court.
Wear athletic shoes with good grip, comfortable clothing, and bring water. If you have your own paddle, bring it—but if not, we’ll have paddles and balls available for you to use.
Each session runs about 60–75 minutes, depending on group size and pace. Expect a short warm-up, focused drills, and plenty of game play with coaching.
If we need to cancel or reschedule due to weather, you’ll receive a text or email with options to move your spot to a future clinic date.
Absolutely. Just make sure each person reserves their own spot—as soon as we hit 8 players, that clinic is full.
