Christopher
I’ve been playing tennis since I was young. I play tennis to keep myself fit and as a means to unwind. It improves my reflexes and coordination and I’d love to share the sport with you!
"I’d say Ryan’s lesson was quite helpful, especially how he focused on my grip and footwork, I really felt like I got a clearer sense of fundamentals. Though, I still need some consistency, but I guess that’s part of the process. Still, I’d consider trying another lesson to keep building on what I learned.

My journey in racket sports began at 9, swiftly ascending the ranks as a junior to qualify for the prestigious New York State High School Championship. Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships. Now, as an avid player and coach, I delight in sharing my expertise, ensuring every lesson is not just about improvement but about relishing the court's thrill. Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time! For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college. A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court. I'm here to help.
"My first lesson with Kirk was quite helpful, especially since he covered some key techniques that really stuck with me, though I still see plenty of room for improvement. Still, that lesson laid a good foundation, and I’m hopeful about refining my skills further with his guidance. If you’re thinking about giving pickleball lessons a try, Kirk’s a pretty solid option to consider.

37 years playing basketball, 10+ years coaching the game and the fundamentals, my goal is to instill passion for the game, elevate your player’s shooting, dribbling, scoring, move without the ball, defense, awareness, decision making.

The game of basketball has given me so much joy in life! I love the way the ball sounds when you bounce it. I love the way the net sounds when the ball goes in. I love shooting on mini hoops, regulation sized hoops, swimming pool hoops, and anything in between. If there's a hoop and a ball, I'm playing. Heck, I remember playing on crates when I was younger. I love playing inside, outside, it doesn't matter. I love getting into a stance and locking somebody up on defense. I love outhustling everybody on the other team for loose balls. I love making my teammates better and being a leader on the court. I want to share my 35 + years of basketball knowledge and experience with boys and girls of all ages in hopes of helping them become the best basketball players and human beings they can possibly be (they go hand in hand). If you bring me on as your personal basketball coach, we will spend time on the court (offense and defense) as well as break down film (watching film is what helps you pick up on new moves). I look forward to working with you!
