If you want to see your child grow in less than an hour, this is the place. It's truly mind-blowing to watch my daughter's skills improve within just a lesson or two. The staff is amazing across the board--all of the coaches are great. That said, there's simply no comparison to the way Chris trains. He quickly identifies areas for improvement and explains them in a way kids truly understand. We can't recommend this place enough and are so grateful we found him. On top of everything else, Chris genuinely cares about his clients and is deeply invested in helping them improve. read more

A Game-Changer for My Daughter's Volleyball Journey We found CPA on Instagram, and from the moment we came across their page, we knew this was coaching on an entirely different level. My 13 year old daughter was a bit intimidated at first, but the professionalism, structure, and high standards of the coaching staff quickly helped her feel both challenged and supported. We have done privates and clinics with other facilities, but CPA is on another level. The attention to detail, the intensity, and the personalized feedback from Coach Chris have pushed her in the best way possible. She's now starting mentality training, and we are looking forward to continued growth not just in her physical game, but in her confidence and mindset. The coaches truly operate at an elite level and bring out the best in their athletes. We're so glad we found CPA, this has definitely elevated her game and her overall development. read more

See all

I feel extremely blessed to have come across coach Chris and the CPA facility on instagram. My daughter attended a hitting clinic and fell in love with the coaching, we booked a private session with coach Chris and his attention to detail and knowledge of the game is simply amazing. I was so impressed by how quickly my daughter was able to improve her hitting after just one private session under coach Chris' guidance. She's so excited to elevate her game and learn more from coach Chris. I would definitely recommend them to any parents looking to help improve their child's volleyball game. read more

I found CPAfacility hosted girls /boys volleyball clinics and camps on www.settercollegevb.com. Debbie from the office responded immediately to my request for classes and private lessons. Once I downloaded the app CPAfacility I was able to find what I needed. Based on positive reviews and popularity on instagram. I felt confident to purchase clinics and a class. I appreciate that I am able to find classes, camps, clinic, private lessons in one place at a reasonable price year around. Looking forward to my daughter's first class! read more

Truly lucky to have been referred to Chris for my daughter Emma's weeklong private VB training while we are here in LA on vacation. Both Coach Chris and Coach Jason diligently worked one-on-one with Emma on serving and gameplay. Their teaching styles are calm and collected, yet enthusiastic, very engaging and highly motivating, Not only did they move Emma up from consistent underhand to skilled overhand serves, but equally important, Chris attentively trained Emma with the mental focus, confidence, and consistency that will drive her newly learned skills into this season's win. Thank you, Coach Chris and Coach Jason! We proudly carry this training under your wing onward!! See you again during our next LA trips!! read more

My Daughter has been going to CPA and working with Chris and his team for about 6 weeks now, and we can really start to see the difference in her hitting, power and overall game. The workout specific exercises she does are legit, and the technique and tips Chris has showed her have really made a big difference. I also noticed the mental aspect Chris does with her as well has really changed who she is as a player. We can't say enough about the progress we have seen in such a short amount of time. The only thing we regret, is not finding CPA sooner. read more

My daughter has been working with Chris P. Austin at CPA for about a month and I'm already impressed. He's detailed, intentional, and has a great coaching philosophy - focused not just on athleticism, but on fundamentals, movement mechanics, and volleyball IQ. My daughter is already playing with more awareness, confidence, and intensity. Looking forward to seeing her growth over the next several months! read more

Chris and his staff are awesome. My 12 year old Lucy has learned so much in a short time. I appreciate his focus on Lucy's mental game as well as her physical abilities and teaching her about goal setting. read more

Everyone here is great, from the scheduling staff to the coaches. My daughter has only seen Coach Chris so far, but we have seen the other coaches and they really know what they are doing. read more

Chris creates an atmosphere where the athlete feels empowered to be the best they can be. His genuine approach to the game and sharing his positivity and knowledge help fuel the fire for the athlete to grow. My daughter's confidence on the court is growing because she feels the support , patience, and training Chris provides transfers onto her play with her team. read more

As parents we all just want what's best for our kids, and it's so hard to sort through information. I'll admit that I feel for the scam of CPA and Chris. I saw the positive reviews and ignored what some other parents had told me. While the team here are okay coaches the entire experience of a workshop with them left me with such a horrible taste in my mouth. I always look to adults who work in youth sports with skepticism. I should have followed my instincts. My daughter came home in tears after working with the team at this facility. It wasn't because it was hard, but because they break you down to install a "championship" mentally that is just made up psychology that teaches you how inadequate you are. It's like the coaches only psychology training was learned from books by pick up artists books who think "negging" is only motivator. They then tell you how much your skills are improving but my daughter's skill didn't improve at nearly the rate of many of her teammates working elsewhere. In talking with other parents with negative experiences we realize it is time to make sure other parents know what they are getting into. Someone I know called this place a cult and I couldn't agree more. I hope more parents have the courage to come forward. It's so important. I noticed that after some negative reviews popped up CPA had a bunch of positive reviews all posted within a few hours of each other. Review manipulation???? If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the way this place works, nothing will. read more

CPA is great! All their coaches are knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. My daughter has been training there for the past six months and there is a noticeable improvement in both her skills and confidence. Per my daughter coach Chris "gives clear and simple instruction that is easy to follow." I would highly recommend CPA to anyone looking to better their volleyball game. read more

I took my granddaughter for her 2nd Volleyball Lesson and observed the coaches. They are superb and I was very impressed with one of the female coaches who was giving a semi-private lesson to two students. read more

My daughter came to CPA specifically to gain solid foundations in her setting. She was a good athlete who started volleyball as a freshman in high school and was good enough as an athlete to get by with relative success for a few years playing indoor volleyball. She made the decision to make indoor volleyball her priority after year two, but knew she needed more position specific training to maximize her talent. Initially we committed to very regular training sessions, making the trip from Santa Barbara 2-3x/ week the first summer. I cannot emphasize enough how crucial that time was in developing her footwork and hands. Admittedly our availability to get to CPA has fallen off since that time. However, their ability to accommodate our schedule when we are able to squeeze in a few sessions has always remained outstanding. Fast forward two years and we now have a committed Division I setter who is consistently complimented on her footwork, calm demeanor, and IQ. All of which have been dramatically influenced by her hours at CPA. Although most of our sessions have been with Chris, the entire team has contributed to our willingness to come back, to invest, to become part of the CPA family. My daughter had a goal/goals. CPA was an integral part in helping her achieve them. read more

My son has been going to CPA for a couple months and he has improved since he started. Thank you to Coach Nico for working with him.

My daughter always has an incredible experience with coach Chris. From day one, it was clear that this coach is not only highly knowledgeable but also extremely dedicated and detail-oriented. Every time my daughter attends a session, he gives her his full attention and observing her closely and immediately identifying the areas where she needs improvement. What I truly appreciate is his ability to pinpoint exactly what she's doing wrong and provide the right drills and feedback to help her correct it. He doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach but he tailors the training to what she needs, which is rare and so valuable. Even though the facility is a bit of a drive from where we live, it's absolutely worth it. I don't mind the extra distance because I know my daughter's receiving high-quality, focused training that's making a real difference in her skills and confidence. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped, creating the perfect environment for growth. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter has really enjoyed training here and her experience has been great. She has been working with Chris, who is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and from what I can see is truly dedicated to helping players of all levels improve. The drills are well-structured, focusing on specific technical details, and offer immediate and personalized feedback. Lynn and Debby in the office, help answer questions, tackle scheduling and are always really helpful and responsive. My daughter is looking forward to continuing to work with Chris and only wishes she could get to train here more often!! read more

Have had an excellent experience here. Customized private sessions with Chris and staff. Friendly staff. Flexible with scheduling and adjustments. Players are 15 and 13. Teams give useful personalized feedback after paying close attention to needs of the player. Players reflect on their play and progress. We have seen tremendous improvements in play and confidence. Would highly recommend for players looking to improve their game, both physical and mental. read more

Great coaching and positive atmosphere. Our daughter has grown and excelled here. We will continue to come here for training and recommended it to all looking for individual or group training. read more

If you wanna Spike your way to success dig for your dreams then set yourself up as CPA and sky's the limit. What coach Chris has done for my daughter mentally and physically in the game of volleyball i am speechless. He has helped her take her take to the next level faster than I could've imagined. read more

Chris, Lynn and the folks here are awesome. They really care about kids and, more importantly, are excellent teachers, motivators and they have the cred to inspire. Chris, for example, is a two time national champion setter. My daughter immediately recognized that he could teach her a LOT when they started talking about volleyball. The footwork he taught her was something she had never even thought about. Really looking forward to continuing training here. read more

We have participated at CPA in both clinic, private, and agility training. Coach Chris and his wonderful staff are very adept at assessing a player's needs and tailoring their training to the individual. There is something for everyone- for teams and players looking to get extra reps in a clinic setting, to learning some agility training techniques and improving strength and stamina, all the way to very specific and high level training for athletes looking to take their game to the next level. We saw almost immediate improvement in our daughter's form and technique after just the first couple of lessons. Highly recommend! read more

We live 2 hours from the CPA facility, so when I say the training is worth it, I mean it. Our daughter has grown immensely since training with Chris and the staff. We've been given guidance how to not only make her a skilled setter, but how to make her successful at the college level. Our daughter is extremely goal oriented, and the CPA staff matches that energy. read more

CPA Facility is top notch training for all ages and all abilities looking to take their game to the next level. Our youngest daughter started training with CPA Facility when she had just turned 9 years old and the foundational mechanics of their program are critical and exceptionally taught! Our oldest daughter came into CPA later in her volleyball career to hone her skills and be ready for high school varsity season! We love that no matter what coach we've had along the way the foundation of the program has been taught the same way within the coaches own personality! Chris, Lynn and the entire coaching staff have been helpful, supportive and encouraging over the years. Players are treated like family, not just a number, with genuine care about the outcome of their volleyball journey and a passion for helping each player achieve their very best. read more

My daughter and I traveled to CPA facility earlier in the year from WA state for a private lesson with Chris Austin. Chris is a great coach and his attention to detail and feedback is amazing. She learnt a lot and was able to fix some things in her approach and setting. With the club travel and school, we have switched to virtual lessons. Chris and his staff are prompt to reply and work with our schedule and availability. A lesson with Chris is the only reason my daughter will wake up at 6.00 am and then go to school. There has been a marked improvement in her setting and mentality lessons have been helping to keep a positive outlook as well. We highly recommend Setter College for all aspiring setters! read more

We have been going to CPA for over a year now. The facilities are set up for solid and intense development. Chris and his team have a system that works. The balance of performance and mentality is suited well for the complexities of Volleyball. We like the progressive individual training on skill-set, mindset and the attitude it takes to be a high level libero read more

I started bringing my daughter here from out of state looking for the best coaching to elevate her volleyball skills and IQ and I feel we have found that with Chris Austin. He has done so many little things that have made the world of difference for that many coaches don't hone in on the level he does. He's fun and full of positive energy and my daughter loves her time with him. He can coach based on the skill level of any athlete to help rise to the next level from beginner to advanced. When we aren't there in person he also offers a great virtual option to keep things consistent with his teachings for my daughter. I highly recommend that anyone looking to take their game the highest level to come here. They are the best for a reason and we will keep coming back as often as we are able to. read more

Wish we had a training facility like this in NorCal! Was able to book some private lessons for my daughter while we were in town and the lessons far exceeded our expectations. Coach Chris and staff are exceptional -- focused, encouraging, and breaks down skills in a way that's clear and effective. Not only did her technique improve significantly, but she also grew more confident. She was challenged in every session, while also having fun. They gave her detailed feedback on what to work on after each session and made her take notes so she can continue to work on her skills. Chris's passion for the sport and for helping young athletes thrive is obvious. Highly recommend Coach Chris and his staff to anyone looking to enhance their child's volleyball skills! read more

Great training for Volleyball at all levels. Chris has the background and knowledge to make kids better in all areas of the sport, skill, power, speed, agility and mindset. read more

My daughter has been coming here for a year and really has enjoyed her training. She has worked with Chris and several other coaches. She always feels like she has learned a lots and gains confidence in her skills. Lynn has been great with communication and finalizing all private lessons. I highly recommend CPA; it is beneficial for all volleyball players at any skill level. read more

As others have said, this is really not a great place to be sending your athletes - especially for how much it costs. I can't understand why anyone would travel to train here. The only thing they are good at is making your kids feel dependent on them to guilt you into adding more and more services. My daughter has worked with plenty of coaches and had private lessons. I would gladly send her back to those other places any day of the week. If you choose to go here you're in for an expensive ride with minimal results. read more

I can no longer recommend sending my athletes here. What used to be a solid training facility has turned into something else entirely. Maybe the owners have become distracted by other things, but instead of focusing on coaching, they seem to focus on everything else. They think they have the skills to "build the whole athlete." I'd rather pay a real sports psychologist than people who have no idea what they're talking about. There are plenty of good coaches in SoCal. I'm sending my athletes there these days. read more

I have watched my daughter grow in her confidence and skills set since she started working with Coach Chris and the Libero college team. In her own words: "Coach Chris has been a great help in improving my defense and serve receive. He helped me go back to my basic techniques with footwork and uncomplicated all my moves. I was able to achieve a consistent serve recieve with his help. On defense I am currently working with him but he is teaching me the same approach to going back to basics to achieve what I want to do. We have also focused on other moves such as setting which has helped boost my confidence with out-of-system balls. Overall Coach Chris's help has been critical to my growth as a player!" read more

Want to help your young athlete step up their game? Our experience with CPA Facility might be just what you're looking for. My daughter knew she could improve and earn more playing time at her previous club, but we weren't sure how to get there--until we found CPA and connected with Chris. His guidance and know-how gave her a nice confidence lift, both on and off the court, and it's paid off with more time on the floor. Big thanks to Chris and the supportive team at CPA--they're a great crew! read more
