Embracing the thrill of pickleball for 2.5 years, I've dived into local tournaments and am continuously striving to enhance my skills with the guidance of a pro coach. Committed to personal growth and sharing my passion, I'm here to assist anyone keen on mastering strategies, refining shot techniques, and solidifying fundamentals. Let's embark on this journey together, learning and improving side by side on the pickleball court!
"I practiced my serve today with Alvin. He gave me lots of professional tips on how to serve correctly. I learned a lot on this first lesson!
When I picked up a paddle just 2.5 years ago, I had zero athletic background. No tennis, no racquetball, nothing. It was just me, a paddle, and the curiosity to see what this “pickleball game” was all about. Fast forward to today, and I’m now a 5.0+ DUPR rated player who has medaled in 14 out of 15 tournaments, including the PPA Tour. My most recent win was achieving gold at the 5.0 level. What sets me apart isn’t just the wins—it’s how I got there. I broke my left hand three years ago (yep, the one I use for everything), so I taught myself to play right handed. The result? I became a true two sides of the court player with a special knack for left side dominant play. Combine that with my experience partnering with left handed players, and I can give you unique strategies for lefty/righty pairings that most coaches are not aware of and never even considered. What I Specialize In: * Tournament Prep & Strategy – Building confidence through mental game prep, match tactics, and step-by-step planning. * Aggressive Topspin 3rd Shot Drops – Turning defense into offense is my bread and butter. Getting to the kitchen after the serve is my specialty * Two Handed Cross Court Dinks – Achieving consistency while adding aggressive top spin. * Left Side Domination & Partner Play – Maximizing strengths in duos with unique strategy. Especially powerful with lefty/righty duos. Why Work With Me? I know what it’s like to start from scratch and grind it out. I’ve built my game shot by shot, drill by drill, laugh by laugh. Now, I’m ready to share that journey with players of all levels—whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or gearing up for your next gold medal run. Pickleball is competitive, yes—but it’s also fun. With me, you’ll learn the strategies, level up your skills, and maybe even laugh at my bad jokes while doing it.
As a former college coach, I bring a strategic perspective to pickleball. With two years of teaching experience, I tailor my instruction to help you elevate your game, no matter your current skill level. Let's work together and make pickleball more fun and engaging!
"Perfect
Sponsored Local Amateur Pro Coach Chris came from Sacramento CA and brought his energy and skills with him! Hailing from a storied family of educators - Chris was born to be a leader and role model. His natural connection with students paired with 7 years of experience as a coach/sports director across Pickleball, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, and Spikeball creates an environment that is both comfortable and potential-tapping.
"Wow, Chris's lesson truly stood out because he took the time to understand my goals, which I appreciated quite a bit. I felt much more confident in my ball control and although I still need to work on improving my top spin, I'm optimistic about applying what I learned. I’d highly recommend Chris for a lesson that will leave you better by the time you leave.
I am an IPTPA certified teaching pro and 6-time USA Pickleball National Medalist. I have won numerous tournaments nationwide at the Senior Pro level. Now, I am focused on helping the next generation of players, regardless of their skill level! I have helped numerous players find partners for tournaments. I once even put together a Mixed team that wound up beating me & my partner twice in the Huntsman World Senior Games and went on to win Silver medals.

Advanced players typically want help with specific tactics, shots or strokes. As a result, we will most likely spend our lesson focused on a single stroke or skill, reviewing footage, making corrections where applicable and discussing how specific footwork limits available shots and decision making. For advanced first lessons, we would want to heavily rely on video feedback, using both in-game scenarios and practice sessions.

When I work with youth, I place a special emphasis on technique. At an age where kids are able to develop rapidly, teaching good technique and pickleball etiquette is essential. We will study shot selection, technique, and execution, all through fun gameplay that keeps the child or teenager entertained.
