Kris W.

Youth, middle & high school. Some college. Over the years I have spent four years coaching at the high school level as an assistant. I was able to help bridge the gap between the head coach and the kids in the team. That year at Santa Monica we produced four all Americans. Then I moved on to coaching middle school at chaminade college preparatory as the head coach. There along with the help of my staff we were able to maintain 4 seasons of being above .500.
