Chris Marple

Chris’ addiction to pickleball began just after the pandemic when he convinced his local gym to put up a pickleball net in their basketball court. Ignited by his contagious enthusiasm, what started with enough players for one double match grew to over 150 pickleball members and the development of 3 indoor and 1 outdoor court.

Having obtained his NCCP Level 2 coaching, Chris has been coaching students of varying levels and ages throughout the GTA. Having competed in multiple sports, he brings a broad perspective on movement, performance, and techniques that are adaptable to each students learning style. Chris’ patience, clear communication, and encouragement are central to his approach. Although the emphasis is always on having fun, and more fun, his ultimate goal is to empower each player to become their own instructor on the court, building confidence, awareness and the skills to continue growing their game long after their sessions together.
