TESTIMONIALS
Working with Christina has been a great experience! As an adult player in need of brush-up, her trainings have advanced my technique, coordination and overall ball mastery in just a few sessions. I also enjoy learning from her because she is patient and provides demonstration and constructive coaching, while still pushing my fitness and skill throughout each session. I always leave the sessions worn out, but anxious to practice-up on the new skills and techniques I've learned from Christina. In team matches, I have noticed improvement in my confidence and endurance, thanks to her help and individual instruction. I recommend Christina's training to players of any age or skill level to supplement team practice and play.

Christina's 1-on-1 training is fantastic! Our daughter enjoyed training with Christina for two summers. Christina did an excellent job teaching and improving our daughter's passing, shooting, agility and ball handling skills. We were impressed with Christina's techniques to increase our daughter's skill level, enabling her to become a stronger player. Each session resulted in improvement with the activities Christina used. Christina's encouraging attitude increased our daughter's confidence, allowing her level of play and competitiveness to increase. We would highly recommend Christina!

Extraordinary and fantastic learning experience! The training had everything, and I could see a difference in my game after 3 sessions. I was very impressed with the skills and endurance training, which pushed me a level higher after every session. Christina is an excellent coach...and has the ability to coach at all levels. Highly recommend.

I have been training with Christina for over three years and I really enjoy it. She is always very positive when she teaches something new and very patient. Christina is great for anyone at any level to help you work on what you need to practice. I always have fun when I train with such a wonderful person like Christina! I have improved so much as far as technical skills in the last three years. Christina is a wonderful person and trainer that I look forward to seeing every week. She is by far the best trainer you could find and really knows what she is doing :)

Christina is a passionate teacher with extraordinary communication skills. Her understanding of the game and her own work ethic make her an excellent role model for her students. Because of Christina, our daughter is as enthusiastic about her training sessions as she is about game play. Christina's intense training sessions are designed to develop technical and tactical skills that can be transferred to the playing field. This enables the student to critique themselves fairly after a play is made, regardless of the outcome. Christina is a wonderfully gifted teacher for all age groups and abilities.
