More About Coach Christopher
I specialize in high-level basketball development for athletes who are serious about improving their game. My training is built around real-game performance, not just drills—focusing on the details that separate average players from confident, impactful athletes on the court.
Through my program, athletes develop:
Advanced ball handling under pressure
Consistent, game-ready shooting mechanics
Footwork, speed, and body control
Basketball IQ and decision-making
Confidence, discipline, and mental toughness
I work with youth, middle school, and high school athletes across Porter Ranch, Northridge, Granada Hills, Chatsworth, and surrounding areas. Whether your athlete is just starting or preparing for competitive play, every session is structured, focused, and results-driven.
Proven training system focused on real game improvement—not just drills
Helps athletes develop confidence, discipline, and strong fundamentals
Focus on ball handling, shooting, footwork, and basketball IQ
Experience working with youth, middle school, and high school athletes
Sessions designed to improve in-game performance and decision-making
Emphasis on consistency, accountability, and work ethic
Position-specific training tailored to your athlete’s needs
Goal-oriented approach to help athletes earn playing time and stand out
Each session is built for real game improvement, combining structured training with high-energy execution. Athletes work on ball handling, shooting, footwork, and basketball IQ, followed by game-like drills that develop decision-making and confidence under pressure. Sessions include conditioning for speed, endurance, and mental toughness, ending with a quick progress review. Ideal for athletes looking for basketball training near me, private basketball coaching, and youth basketball development in the San Fernando Valley who want to improve fast and perform in games.

My 10 year old nephew started playing basketball last year and we got him lessons with Coach Christopher for his birthday. Coach has been patient, supportive, and encouraging- he’s been an amazing 1:1 coach. He’s working on skills, drills, conditioning, and form.
My nephew’s confidence in sports as well as his self-confidence in life is also growing with every lesson.
Thanks so much Coach!

Lori (CoachUp client)
My son had his first session with Coach Chris this past weekend and really enjoyed the training. Coach took the time to talk with him and find out what areas he wants to improve in and then tailored the training to these areas. He pushed him to work hard and was positive and encouraging. My son is looking forward to his future sessions with Coach Chris.
