Chris' passion for tennis is like a black hole...never ending! Chris knows one word when it comes to tennis. Growth! Chris' was a visionary when introducing Cardio Tennis in the NW. Starting with no students and currently hosting multiple classes with upwards of 30 students! She was the heart behind getting Ralleyball youth tennis going in the NW and if that wasn't enough...catapults’ players to high school districts and beyond! Chris' passion, energy, and especially organization and outreach have few peers!
