I am certified through USA Volleyball's Coaching Accreditation. I am also CPR and AED Certified.

I played volleyball since a kid and played collegiate men's volleyball. I was a three time all-conference selection, three time team MVP, and name conference player of the year. I have also competed in a number of professional beach events.

Training sessions are tailored to each specifics athletes goals and needs. I try to ensure we build on the athlete's strengths while eliminating weaknesses from their game. It is important to me to train athletes to be well rounded volleyball players and teach them proper technics not only to maximize their talent but also to mitigate the chance for injury. I am looking to train any volleyball player...it doesn't matter if you are trying to make the freshman high school volleyball team or striving to get a D1 scholarship, you will be given the tools to be successful! Training sessions are available to indoor or beach volleyball as I have access to both types of facilities.

Client Reviews

Today was our first session, and definitely my daughter is happy with the lesson she got from coach Chris. We will continue working with the coach to improve her skills. Thanks

Awesome coach

Coach Chris gave great instruction and tips that my daughter wasn’t getting from her club coach. She improved a lot on her jump serve and hitting power in just 3 sessions. And he was kind and not intimidating in his approach with my somewhat shy kid.

We gave Chris some very specific skills we wanted addressed and he got right to it!!! We saw immediate results

Very helpful feedback for my daughter that was explained in a way that made a key difference in her understanding of how to approach both fundamentals as well as the game in general. A very helpful session indeed.

Excellent job!

Rhys enjoys her lessons, and I appreciate how Chris breaks down all the elements so she can learn them separately.

Starting from the first lesson he was extremely insightful and vigilant on my technique, always ready to find habits I had created that when fixed allowed my progress to soar. His experience shows when 1 on 1 with him, truly a plethora of knowledge at your fingertips when under his instruction. He also always finds a way to make what he is trying to explain to you stick with many clever and memorable analogies. He also brings a very positive energy to every practice, an energy that makes you want to keep going even when you are failing and that makes you feel on top of the world when succeeding.

My daughter, Baili, left the lesson feeling really good about what she learned and excited to come back for her next lesson!

Chris is really good at explaining the proper technique in a way children can understand. We found our first session very beneficial and will definitely book with him again.

This was the 1st of 3 sessions and my daughters serve improved greatly.

Very professional

I play collage volleyball and Chris is awesome helping me keep in shape and even teach me more skills than I have ever learned before!

My daughter had her first session, and she learned so much. It was very beneficial for her. She also learned drills she can work on at home, and we plan to go back for more help. Would definitely recommend booking a session with Chris Brandt

Our daughter had a great first session, and she definitely looks forward to many more! Coach Chris was great.

Coach Chris did a great job on working step by step with my daughter.

Coach Chris was amazing! I am a very beginner with volleyball. He was very patient and taught me the basics really well. I am so glad to find Coach Chris.

Coach Chris was amazing! My daughter is 9 and this is her first year playing rec volleyball so he worked on basic techniques for serving and passing. I was instantly impressed, I had read the reviews so I knew that he was good but to see the one on one in action was different. She learned so much in just one session! This week she had back to back games and I saw her use the technique for serving that she learned from Chris. I will definitely schedule more sessions so that she can continue to learn the correct skills and become more comfortable in her form.

I have learned a lot. Chris is great!

Coach Chris did a great job helping my 11 year old daughter! He broke down skills into smaller steps that built on each other. At the end, you could really see the progress. My daughter said that Coach Chris explained why certain techniques work better more than any other coach she’s had. Coach Chris is positive and encouraging and gave my daughter tips for things to practice at home too.

Very knowledgeable . Great teaching skills for my 12 year old . My daughter said he is the best coach she has ever had . Huge improvement in her skills

Chris was great at helping my daughter with her hitting. He started at the basics and progressed into hitting. This was great so he could break down all steps and techniques and critique her hitting. He figured out what she was doing wrong and helped her get more balls in the court.

Coach Chris was very positive and set my daughter at ease. She is pretty quiet and was nervous about doing a private lesson. He did a great job of working on the exact skills she is hoping to improve and gave her really good feedback. We plan to schedule more lessons with Coach Chris over the summer!!

Coach Chris was great with my 11 year old daughter. He helped her with all skills and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. We will definitely continue working with him in the future.

My daughter attended her first session with Coach Chris and I cannot say enough how happy she is with the training, even after just one session. He was very attentive in listening to what she is wanting to accomplish and started right in working on it. I highly recommend him to everyone!! I am just thankful we found him and were able to get scheduled with him. (She is 18 and attending college in the fall to play volleyball)

Daughter loved her first session with coach Chris. One minor correction on her serve made a big difference. Glad that Chris took the time to break down everything for her so that she could understand what she was doing wrong and be mindful of what not to do when serving. She is looking forward to more sessions!

Every lesson gives my daughter added confidence and ability to play the sport she enjoys. Coach Chris breaks it down so she understands. Always super happy with our choice of coaches.

My daughter is typically very shy and she opened up rather quickly with Chris. We will most definitely be doing more lessons to aid my daughter in getting to her next level of performance. I definitely recommend Chris to anyone who is looking to get specific training that your child may not be getting from their current coaches.

This was our first private training experience and we were very pleased we did a group session with 3 girls. He was able to adjust to their various levels and give them each the attention they needed. He’s very big into mechanics which is exactly what we were wanting - to fine tune hitting and serving mechanics. We will be booking again soon.

My daughter learned so much during her first session with Coach Chris. She and I both liked the detail he provided when explaining not only the how but the why of doing things a certain way. She walked away with a far greater understanding of how to control the volleyball with simple angle adjustments. She wants to excel in the sport and the improvement and depth of understanding she gained from 1 hour of dedicated attention from Chris will definitely help her get there. She is excited for her next lesson!

Coach Cris taught me how to fix my simple errors verbally and visually. It feels weird changing my forms at first, because I’m used to it, but Coach told me the right one, so it’s now easier and I can move faster than I used to. I would 11/10 recommend him!!! Also, I did a Libero training.

Awesome coach! I learned more from one lesson than I did in a whole season at school! Great teacher, very polite and does not hound you or be mean. Definitely plan on taking more lessons!

Chris is a really great coach. He is patient and able to explain advanced techniques simply and make them easy to understand, and perform. Would recommend to anybody looking to hire a volleyball coach. 5 stars.

I booked my daughters first lesson with Coach Chris after checking out his profile and reading other reviews. We were extremely pleased with our first session. Coach Chris was phenomenal. He explained things in a way that my daughter understood and made her feel comfortable and confident. Looking forward to many more lessons with Coach Chris.

Chris was so great with my daughter. He explained things to her in different ways if she wasn’t catching on to his meaning. He worked on starting a good foundation for her to build on. And, the best recommendation in my book, is that while I appreciated his knowledge and skill, my daughter can’t wait to go back for another session with him!!

Girls said "mind blown" with the mechanics of hitting taught by coach Chris. The coaching session didn't just provide repetitive hitting practive but taught the girls the physics and logic behind the hitting instruction. Understanding why a technique is taught is critical to implementation.

Very happy with Chris. He goes beyond coaching, he teaches sound basics. I think his guidance will benefit my granddaughter throughout her volleyball years.

Great first session!! Chris was very knowledgeable and gave us a list of things to work on at home too! Will be back for more sessions for sure.

Coach Chris had a great session with us. He gave excellent advise, tips and new drills that were used in tournament play over the weekend. Looking forward to the next session!

Chris worked with my 12yr daughter and he was great! She said he was awesome and explained thing very well. She liked his coaching style. Thanks so much!!!

Coach Chris was very patient and walked my daughter through every step. She has played for years but has never had any one on one attention. It was a great review of the basics and a great place to build on!

Evy had a great first lesson. She stated that she learned a lot in just one lesson. We noticed her adjustments with her serve already! Looking forward to the next lesson!

Great Coach!

Chris is really good at taking the time to explain and breaking down the skills for my daughter. She is feeling more confident in her ability to be a strong player. I strongly recommend Chris as a coach.

Great Coach !!!!!!!

Coach Chris was great. He exactly knew what I wanted out of this single session and he focussed on achieving that goal. His training method would be beneficial to anyone playing at any level. I would like to schedule session with him some time in the future and would highly recommend him

I am an older guy that was was looking to learn how I could improve my hitting and serving. Chris did a great job with that! He started with the basics of each part of the swing and explained it in an understandable manner that I could relate too. This allowed me to execute what he as saying very quickly. His communication skills are good and he has a very positive attitude. Actually I am amazed at how much info he conveyed in a short amount of time. I'll be back for a session on bumping soon.

This was our first session with Coach Brandt and we will be scheduling more. Our primary goals with working with Chris were to help develop our daughter serve and overall fundamentals. Our daughter really enjoyed working with Chris and feel that continued sessions will improve her skills even more.

Coach Chris does a great job with my daughter in building her skill set.

Super awesome, fast feedback and great to work with. Excited for more sessions!

We had our first session with Chris and it was amazing. My daughter was very receptive to everything he had to teach. We will definitely be rebooking with him.

Coach Chris did a great job with our daughter. He was able to take all that he knows and successfully translate it into terms our 13 year old could easily understand. She can not wait for her next session!

(no details provided)

Coach Chris worked well with my daughter. Her first session set the baseline for what the other sessions would work on. He focused on the areas that they lined out at the beginning of the session. He showed her techniques she can use regularly in her volleyball career. She verbalized that after the first session, she felt like some areas were already improving. We would highly recommend Coach Chris and look forward to other sessions to develop her volleyball skills.

Coach Chris was great. My 11 year old daughter was very uneasy about having a stranger coach her. She texted me as soon as her session was complete letting me know how much she learned and how excited she was to go back. My wife attended the session and told me that our daughter learned more in 1 session then she has learned in camps and clinics over the years. Time and money well spent.

Coach Chris immediately hit the ground running working to improve the areas that my daughter was interested in gaining more skill. She left more confident about her game and looking forward to working on the areas Coach suggested. Very pleased!

So happy with my grandaughter lessons from Coach Chris.With his great lessons,she went from knowing very little to feeling very confident. She plans on playing in high school thanks to Chris! I would definitely recommend him to everyone.He made it alot of fun and she was always anxious for another lesson. Than ks again Chris.

Coach Chris is awesome! He's very organized and knows exactly what he wants to work on, yet quickly able to see areas where my daughter needed extra help or excelled in and tweaked the lesson accordingly. He gave her some excellent new tips to work on. She's looking forward to her next lesson!

Coach Chris was very professional and fun. My daughter learned new techniques and is excited about getting better at them. Coach Chris is great and would refer him to anyone wanting to setup their game!!

Coach Brandt was a great coach for me! He goes into very specific details to explain the best way to perform fundamental skills. He has a positive attitude that personally helped keep me motivated to keep improving. I would recommend Coach Brandt to anyone looking for private lessons.
