Play Tennis at L.B. Houston Tennis Center

I'm Nick, your soon-to-be favorite tennis coach, bringing years of experience and a passion for the game to every lesson. During my time at UTA, I lived and breathed tennis on the collegiate courts, and now I'm thrilled to bring that same energy to teaching you. From teaching tiny tots to adults chasing their Wimbledon dreams (or just beating the neighbor), I've done it all. My goal is to ensure you have a blast while honing your backhand and mastering those tricky shots that sometimes defy gravity. Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced player looking to refine your skills, our sessions will blend serious training with serious fun. Plus, be prepared for some of my infamous tennis jokes—I promise they'll keep us laughing! Note : Please have the court booked (if not an open court) as most city center courts require you to be residence of that city.

"I'm getting quite a bit from Raman’s lessons, particularly the practical drills that really help sharpen my match play skills. Though I’d love to see a focus on preparing for a championship someday, I appreciate how measured his approach is. Still, there’s room to deepen specific tactical work for competition, which I hope will come as I progress. If you're looking for honest, useful guidance, Raman might be worth trying out.
