More About Coach Christopher

I have coached beach Vball since 2020 - starting in New York w Private mentoring, and then in 2021 I moved to Playa Del Carmen and began coaching locals and tourists. I created an Airbnb experience for giving lessons/a beach volleyball experience, and in Ireland in summer of 2024 and New York City in fall of 2024 I coached youth and got certified -
NFHS - Protecting Students from Abuse
NFHS - Bullying, Hazing and Inappropriate Behaviors
NFHS - Concussion in Sports
Alison - Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults
Currently I am working on my International course for international trainers/coaches level 1 beach volleyball - CRDV (Centro Regional Desarollo Voleibol Norceca / FIVB - Rep Dominicana

Gold Medal Paris Gay Games 2018
Gold Medal Masters 40s Cali Colombia 2024
Gold Medal Masters 40s Pto Morelos 2025
King Of The Beach Winner - Playa Del Carmen 2022
Winner of Men’s Open EEVB Long Beach 2023

One can expect dynamic movement and a variety of warm ups that will integrate into the lesson plan. I gauge the areas in which clients both find that they want to work and advise and prepare drills that will strengthen their fundamentals and overall gameplay level.

I’d like to get started right at the hr. If you’re able to make it 10 mins prior to help finish setup/stretch it’s appreciated.
If we start on time, we’ll have more time at the end for play and focused improvement.
Here’s an example of a breakdown for the session:

9am-9:17 warmup, dynamic stretches and movement.

9:20-9:45am ball control exercises.
9:50-10:15 positioning/reflex and transitions focus
10:20-10:40 finding in system Rhythym
10:40- til 11:15am for games.

Client Reviews

I pasted my reviews from my Airbnb Experience in Playa Del Carmen below to give an idea as to what people have said about me and co-coaches I've found to help and cover for me in the rare occasion I couldn't make it. David User Profile David Quebec City, Canada Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2024 We were supposed to have a session with 1 person extra but that person wasn’t able to make it so my girlfriend and I got a private session with Christopher! I am not a very good volleyball player but Christopher was able to help me understand how to play better and gave my girlfriend, who is the real beach volleyball player, great tips for her service! After the practice we ended up playing with Christopher and his friends! Highly recommend this activity if you want to have a great experience learning from him and having fun too! Darlene User Profile Darlene Laval, Canada Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2024 I booked this activity for my son, he played in his high school volleyball team, and I thought this would be a nice activity to do while we were in PDC. I am writing this from what my son told me about his experience and also from my observation. My son said he had a good time and learned a lot. There was another person and Christopher customized the training to suit the participants' fitness levels, providing a challenging yet enjoyable experience. Caleb User Profile Caleb Chicago, IL Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2024 Christopher (Crispy) is personable and professional. He takes an interest in his clients and personalizes his teaching to the style of the player. It was fun just hanging with him and absorbing his wealth of knowledge. Would love to spend more time playing and learning with him! Varun User Profile Varun Berkeley, CA Rating 5 out of 5 , · December 2023 Christopher was a great instructor who knew how to make sessions fun and engaging, and also patiently explain various techniques involved in beach volleyball. Would quite easily recommend it to anyone, including absolute beginners and others at varying levels of familiarity with the game. Marlo User Profile Marlo Denver, CO Rating 5 out of 5 , · December 2023 If you're even considering this, just book it. It was so much fun even for non-volleyball players. Christopher was great and made everything fun. After the lesson, he let my daughter who plays club volleyball play a game with him and some other locals. She really enjoyed it! Gabriela User Profile Gabriela Montreal, Canada Rating 5 out of 5 , · December 2023 Our private volleyball practice with Chrispy was super fun. He was very good at teaching us the correct technique for all the basic moves, kept us moving the whole time, and was very patient and friendly. Also more of a workout than we expected, which was an added bonus. If we had more time in Playa we would have definitely booked another class! Samuel User Profile Samuel Besançon, France Rating 5 out of 5 , · September 2023 The instructors were great and I loved the personalized coaching! It was very hot so I’d recommend lots of water and electrolytes! Vema User Profile Vema Rating 5 out of 5 , · September 2023 Good place to learn volleyball Jason User Profile Jason Fort Lee, NJ Rating 5 out of 5 , · August 2023 If you want to learn the little details of the sport, this is the experience for you. He knows how to develop your game and provides quick adjustments during the lesson. The location is great as locals play pick up. This is where you can apply the skills you learned. Learned a lot and looking forward to applying what I gained back home. As a teacher I can attest to his coaching abilities. Annya User Profile Annya Avon, CT Rating 5 out of 5 , · May 2023 Great value for money. I have no volleyball knowledge and neither did my husband. He taught us great form and technique and started from the basics. It was a really fun activity and we left it with a new skill! Would do again! Bokyung User Profile Bokyung Rating 5 out of 5 , · April 2023 It was the first activity I did and I enjoyed it for two hours without resting! Totally recommend!!!

I would highly recommend. the instructor Christopher was fun and very attentive. do not hesitate and book this entertaining and instructive beach volleyball experience. Julie User Profile Julie Catania, Italy Rating 5 out of 5 , · February 2023 I knew nothing about beach volleyball but thought it'd be a good opportunity to learn the sport and meet new people. Chrispy(Christopher) was an amazing coach and the other two guys who were in the session with me were so understanding and made me feel super comfortable even though I was the only beginner! I also got to meet a lot of new people and watch them play afterwards. The heat is something you need to get used to and I personally had to take a few water breaks but over time I'm pretty sure it'll get better. Had so much fun, will definitely book again! Xavier User Profile Xavier Chihuahua, Mexico Rating 5 out of 5 , · February 2023 a great experience for those who like sports and want to learn the basics of beach volleyball,Jessica is an excellent instructor so highly recommended, I will definitely take a class again with her. Translated from Spanish Show original , · January 2023 Very cool experience learning some of the basics from Christopher! He has very good energy and is great at pushing you to try your best!

Very nice beach Translated from German Show original Suki User Profile Suki New York, NY Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2023 Amazing experience! Chris is super nice and I will definitely try it again. Recommend to all the people who want to try out! Lejuane User Profile Lejuane Seattle, WA Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2023 Great training session with Chrispy. 90 minutes of drills and instruction, got to meet some cool people and play all day after. Totally worth it. Kester User Profile Kester New York, NY Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2023 Great coaching with a small class Gee User Profile Gee Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2023 Really great and fun. Was super scared and nervous as a complete beginner, even though some people in the class were a lot more experienced, everyone was was so kind and patient. Christopher did a great job at making the atmosphere welcoming and supportive too. Do it - you’ll be glad you tried. I might even go back for another lesson before I leave playa! Luke User Profile Luke Rating 5 out of 5 , · January 2023 Good experience, between the warm up and drills it’s a decent workout too, would recommend to anyone visiting the city looking for something active to do. Hunter User Profile Hunter Fredericton, Canada Rating 4 out of 5 , · January 2023 It was fun overall - I wished we learned more about the rules of the game and practiced a bit more. More time is spent on warm ups and drills which I don’t think is necessary. If the group gets too big then it can get a bit chaotic. Saif User Profile Saif Toronto, Canada Rating 5 out of 5 , · December 2022 Great drills! Wish the time spots in the afternoon were available. Try to come on a day with less wind! Renata User Profile Renata Budapest, Hungary Rating 5 out of 5 , · December 2022 Great people nice and clear instructions! Will go again!
