For over three decades, I've immersed myself in the worlds of Badminton and Ping Pong, blending these passions into the dynamic sport of Pickleball. My dedication and skill recently earned me a thrilling first-place victory at the City of Irving Rec Center doubles tournament. As both a player and coach, I thrive in indoor settings, preferring the controlled environment over outdoor courts, where I occasionally step onto the court to test my abilities.

"Saibal is very friendly and passionate guide. I improved my skill immediately when played beside him for sometime.

I am a highly enthusiastic pickleball player with 2 years of experience in open/private play ranging from 4.0-4.5 level. Very engaging in technical instruction, ranging from foundational "Intro to Pickleball" clinics to intermediate tactical workshops for up to 4.0+ players. I just love pickleball and all the things that come with it. I have organized lots of drills and open plays within my pickleball group too.

"I was completely new to pickleball and took lessons with Anish and he has helped me not only understand the game but also gotten me to a level when I can play open plays without felling out of place at the 3.0-3.5 level. He has helped a lot with my footwork, drops and returns. I would highly recommend him if you are wanting to get to the 4.0 level.
