Hi there, I’m a former varsity tennis player and have shifted to playing pickleball over the years! After being asked for tips and being approached about lessons during open plays, I’ve decided to dedicate more time to coaching. I’d be happy to teach anyone from complete beginners up to 3.0s. My main goals are to be patient and encouraging while we get you ready to beat your friends or podium at a tournament :)

"Pranit is a great coach for beginners. I came into pickleball with no prior racquet sport experience and was quite nervous to start, but he was very welcoming and made the process fun. He focuses on the fundamentals a lot, which has helped me understand the game and why certain strategies work. To be honest, I’m not too into sports and didn’t expect much from pickleball, but his instruction has made me enjoy it and look forward to playing every week. I eventually want to learn more intermediate techniques from him too. I’d highly recommend taking lessons with Pranit.
