progress purposeful and enjoyable. With six years of playing experience, I tailor each session to your goals, experience, and learning style. We can focus on strokes, form, mechanics, court awareness, strategy, tactics, decision-making, or the mental side of playing with patience and focus. I explain why changes work, demonstrate clearly, and use purposeful drills to help you improve efficiently. My goal is not simply to tell you what to do, but to help you understand your game and become a smarter, more complete player. I teach in person at Chilmark Park in Briarcliff Manor, East Rumbrook Park and Travis Hill Park in White Plains, and Main Street Park Pickleball in Tuckahoe. I provide paddles, pickleballs, a portable net, cones, targets, and other training aids as needed. Bring your preferred paddle if you have one, plus a smile and a coachable attitude. Book a lesson and let’s get started.

If you’re looking for a coach who is both easy to get along with and highly skilled, Chris is the one. He brings a contagious energy to the court, and it’s clear he clearly loves the game. I really appreciate how he adapts his teaching style, to my needs, using fun drills that keep me motivated while noticeably improving my game. It is a huge plus that he’s such a strong player himself; his demonstrations are always spot on!

Chris is a fantastic pickleball instructor! He quickly picks up on the areas I need to improve and does an excellent job explaining and demonstrating how to fix my form and strokes. It certainly helps that he’s such a strong player himself. I also really enjoy the drills he incorporates, making every session fun too! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does!
