KJ is an excellent volleyball coach/trainer with extensive experience and provides high level, detailed coaching to all levels of volleyball players. I appreciate that he takes the time to be very detailed in explaining how to improve skills and uses unique drills and exercises that really helped my daughter with her serving and passing. I would highly recommend KJ.

Kris has done an excellent job as a private coach for my daughter. He is a very knowledgeable volleyball coach and puts forth that knowledge to fix the errors she is making. Since the first practice, my daughter has improved in all aspects of the game and has been able to become a much better overall volleyball player.

Kris is amazing! He helped improve my daughters game and work ethic. With four kids I greatly appreciate his punctuality and communication. My daughter is a bit slow to warm up to teachers and coaches. She and Kris hit it off on the first day. His volleyball skills are undeniable, but moreover his positive and calm attitude really create an ideal learning environment. This has allowed my daughter huge steps forward in her skills and motivation. Just because you’re an amazing player doesn’t mean you’re an amazing teacher. Kris truly is a fabulous teacher as well as player.
