My son had the pleasure of being coached by Chris (Coach Kittle to us) for three seasons. His first practice, his first game, and his first championship were all under Coach Kittle’s guidance. My son requested to follow his coach for two additional seasons and that speaks for itself. Chris is the kind of person you want standing on the sideline leading your bench. He is all in all the time. He isn’t afraid to take criticism and is constantly searching for more knowledge. I watched him many times talking to parents, players, other coaches, and referees taking in all the information he could. In addition, he wasn’t just a game time coach. He showed up for his kids off the court as much as his schedule allowed. We were lucky to experience his coaching, leadership, and friendship and believe he would be an asset to any organization.

Coach kittle has been my coach since I was 2nd grade.. barley knowing how to dribble , he worked with us one on one and the next year we took the championship.. coach never let me down and always had something good to say and make me feel proud.. He is dedicated , devoted and stayed with us for 3 years .. I couldn’t imagine having anyone but coach kittle .. He was always proud of us, even when we didn’t have the best day .. If I had to chose a coach it would be coach kittle he never failed us !!

Coach Kittle was our her 5th grade basketball coach. Being one of two girls on a team full of boys, Chris did a great job communicating and involving them into practice and games. Throughout the season, we saw her becoming more and more comfortable and having fun on the floor during games while focusing, laughing, and learning during practice.

He was my son’s basketball coach for 6th grade. Throughout the season, I not only saw my son improve his skills playing basketball but expanding his social skills has it was a great team environment.
