Numbers elite tennis

“I worked with Chris in Toronto and Palm Desert for about 18 months and during that time my game and tennis IQ improved tremendously. Within that short time period I achieved my first ATP World Ranking and received a Division 1 collegiate tennis scholarship. Chris taught me the technical and tactical aspect of tennis from a viewpoint that made sense to me. His enthusiasm for the game was infectious. ”

“Chris was a fantastic coach for my boys. He really knew how to motivate and engage them. He was able to understand the vastly different personalities of each. He was instrumental with USTA tournaments/rankings and the whole college recruiting process. He was very helpful with his contacts when speaking to college coaches. My boys felt Chris really helped get them prepared for their collegiate tennis careers at Princeton and Rice.”

“I met Chris when he was the National Coach of the Hong Kong Tennis Association. He hit regularly with me whenever I was not traveling on the ATP Tour. Chris is very knowledgeable in his doubles strategy and tactics and helped me a great deal. I have loads of respect in the way Chris coaches his players.”

“Chris is an excellent tennis coach, especially for Independent Study PE (ISPE). My three children, in middle and high school, gained great tennis skills, knowledge and course credit that they never would have had without his excellent coaching. He managed the I.S.P.E. paperwork and more importantly, my kids all loved to go to tennis practice. They were all happy to go to tennis because he made it fun and challenging. He was able to get my kids interested in good nutrition, overall fitness, and even sunscreen! I highly recommend Chris Numbers.”

Coach Chris has been an absolutely phenomenal tennis coach for my two boys, ages 7 and 9. He has masterfully cultivated their mental toughness, teaching them resilience and focus that extends far beyond the court. Beyond just strokes, Coach Chris has meticulously developed their technique, ensuring they build a strong, fundamentally sound game. What truly stands out is his ability to ignite their competitive spirit in a healthy way,  simultaneously enhancing their understanding of tennis IQ, all while making sure they are always having fun on the tennis court.

Coach Chris helped me understand the importance of teamwork while I played for Torrey Pines. I valued his knowledge and expertise while navigating my first team experience. Under Coach Chris’ guidance I matured as a player and he was valuable in my development as a player. 

I always enjoyed my court time with Chris. He coached our family (and friends) for many years and we couldn't wait for our Saturdays! I would recommend Chris as a coach for adults and younger kids.
