Being a female, I love getting my lessons from Chris because he taught me how not to be afraid to go up to the kitchen line and respond to those people that like to slam the ball now I slam the ball and then and it feels great
Samantha Harris
I take lessons from Chris because he truly believes girls are as good as guys in this sport.

Talk about it down to earth knowledgeable Coach, Chris is amazing. I highly recommend him, he doesn’t claim to be the best player in the world, but rather knows the game extremely well and obviously, he plays well too He works with your gay IQ, which I have come to learn is more important than your actual skills or athleticism and is why you see so many older people crushing some of the younger people even though they’re not that’s the same athletic level.
