Hi, I am Coach Chris Riportella — Your Guide To Championship-Level Performance

I’m an IPTPA Master Teaching Professional and an IPTPA Regional Training Director certified to train, evaluate, and certify other teaching professionals.

I discovered pickleball about 12 years ago when I walked into my local gym and saw a group of people playing. I was immediately drawn to the strategy; the tactical depth was obvious from the sideline. 

I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping advanced players identify and eliminate the errors that stop them from progressing and building the tactical decision-making that creates a genuine path to 4.0 and beyond. Especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

My Credentials:

IPTPA Certified Pickleball Teaching Professional (CPTP)

IPTPA Certified Rating Specialist (CRS)

USA Pickleball Phase IV Certified Professional — the highest USA Pickleball coaching certification level

US Open Gold Medalist — US Open Pickleball Championships, Naples, FL

Professional Pickleball Federation (PPF) registered pro player

Featured strategy writer for regional pickleball organizations

12 years of pickleball playing and coaching experience

Multiple competitive medals at high amateur and professional levels

My approach: Every advanced player I coach gets the same starting point: a precise diagnosis of the specific errors and inefficiencies currently holding their game at 3.5.

I’ve developed an eye for detecting exactly where a player’s decision-making, mechanics, or patterns are limiting their ceiling, and I implement corrections immediately. 

So, whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court…I’ll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.

Players who train with me experience complete game transformations.

They win through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not exhausting power.

They understand the mental game.

They play multiple times a week with energy.

They build lasting friendships while improving their game together.

WHY I'M OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)

Most advanced camps spend too much time talking and not enough time competing.

I’m different.

Here’s my philosophy: Championship Systems = Championship Results

You don’t break into true 4.0+ play by listening to lectures about court positioning. You get there by executing under match-speed pressure, repeatedly, while a Master Teaching Professional watches every rep, detecting errors and correcting not just the shot, but the decision behind it.

Because at the advanced tier, the difference between you and the player who beats you isn’t whether you know the shot. It’s whether you can execute it automatically, under pressure, without thinking.

That moment when you read a serve before it lands and you’re already moving into position.

That feeling when you set up an attackable ball through pure patience and pattern, and then put it away.

That instant when a coach fires balls at you in rapid succession, and your hands just respond, no hesitation, no panic, just clean execution.

And then, the moment I care about most, when you can identify exactly what went wrong on your own. Without me telling you. Because you’ve internalized the correction. Because the improvement is now yours permanently.

You don’t need weeks to feel that shift. You feel it right there on the court, that same session.

That’s why championship-level drilling is the heartbeat of this camp. Not because intensity is impressive on its own, but because it’s the only way to build the kind of reflexive, self-correcting, pressure-proof game that separates a strong 3.5 from a true 4.0+ competitor.

Player Stories

See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.

Remember The Last Time You Walked Off The Court Knowing You Left Points Out There?

You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…

…thinking about the third shot you should have driven instead of dropped?

…watching an opponent read your patterns before you even knew you had any?

…feeling that gap between the 3.5 player you are and the 4.0+ competitor you know you could be?

That gap closes on August 8.

Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have shifted. Your footwork will respond differently. Your decision-making will be faster. And the next time you step onto a competitive court, your opponents will immediately notice something has changed.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, August 10 (Two Days After Camp)

You walk onto your regular pickleball court for your weekly competitive game.

As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.

“What happened to you?”

Your third shot drops are landing consistently, pulling opponents out of position before the rally even begins. At the kitchen line, you’re reading speed-ups before they arrive and resetting with a composure that rattles your opponents. Your movement is a half-step faster. Your shot selection is a decision ahead.

By the third game, they’re asking what you did. By the fifth game, they’re asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you can teach them.

That’s the difference between who you are right now and who you’ll be after the camp.

And it all starts the moment you register, because the transformation begins before you even arrive.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY WALK AWAY WITH (The Real Outcomes)

You'll Dictate Points Instead of Reacting to Them

I’ll teach you the advanced serving and return systems that put pressure on opponents from the very first shot, placement patterns, spin variations, and tournament-level serve selection that takes the game out of your opponent’s hands before the rally even develops.

You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)

I’ll connect you with other passionate players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.

You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation

I’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you speed up the dink rally? You’re already reading it. How do you handle the lob when you’re pulled wide? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.

You'll Fix The Technical Flaws That Have Been Capping Your Rating

I’ll help you identify the specific issues that are currently keeping you from breaking into 4.0. With the eye of a Master Teaching Professional, I know exactly what the gap looks like and precisely how to close it.

You'll Reignite The Competitive Fire You Had When You First Discovered This Game

I’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave buzzing with competitive energy, already planning your next match or tournament.

Remember when you first broke into the advanced level and couldn’t wait to play every day? If that fire has been smoldering lately…

On August 8, it comes roaring back.

Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally execute the shots you’ve been working on under real match pressure, that’s when the obsession returns.
