His practical approach to teaching beginners works. He had me playing games from the start after covering the basics. Just as you can’t learn to swim without getting in The water,” the same holds true with Chris as a teacher. I have years of tennis experience and he has helped me adopt a different racquet game while leveraging past mind and muscle memory. As a beginner, my improvement was so obvious to my group that they asked how I did it. My answer was Chris! I’d recommend him to anyone. > From Kimberly, 5 out of 5 > Chris, was an outstanding pickle ball instructor . We had a group take lessons with Chris and now just after a few lessons we feel we can play, we know the rules, we know strategy and we can win a few games. Most importantly we had fun in a non intimidating environment. Thank you Chris ! I saw him teach people who knew how to play and he was just as helpful and talented. > From Maria, 5 out of 5 > His attention to detail and emphasis on the basics allowed me to build a solid foundation, while his encouragement helped me grow in confidence. Chris's passion for the game is evident, and his emphasis on "fun and meeting new people" rings true. I've not only picked up a new hobby, but also found a wonderful community. > From Holly, 5 out of 5 > I started playing pickleball this summer with Chris as my instructor and have been playing once or twice a week since. He has been very helpful with the basics, and as I progress, he is teaching more and more strategies. He is very approachable and helpful and makes it fun" > From Denise, 5 out of 5 > Never thought I'd find myself playing pickleball, but here I am, loving it! Chris is a real gem – he's got this way of explaining the game that makes everything click. I was pretty clumsy with the paddle at first, but he had me laughing and enjoying the whole process. > From Jose, 5 out of 5 > I recently moved to Chicago and was on the lookout for new activities to help me socialize and stay active. A friend suggested Chris's pickleball class, and I'm thrilled I took the plunge. It was cold but we had a blast! > From Jack, 5 out of 5 > Chris is a fantastic resource for a beginner like me. Time spent on the basics of the game, and then plenty of actual playing time with other beginners. An ideal start! > From Michelle, 5 out of 5 > Chris is Awesome! So helpful & attentive. I had fun & am excited about my next lessons. I give him 5 stars out of 5 stars. > From Mary, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-chris-jinks): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/4657baeb-475e-413a-950a-c29a33ca42b9): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
