"Cecil is a great coach who is patient and know how to teach. I learned a lot in every lesson and can feel that my skill has improved a lot in just one month. Will definitely recommend him as the instructor.

I picked up tennis as a middle schooler, played as a high schooler and enjoyed it competitively into both college (recreational) and during active duty. I continue to play, learn and tutor my children. I also had the honor of coaching elementary and middle school children as a Senior in high school. My desire to coach is in inspiring the next generation in this wonderful sport. Elaborating; my more competitive years were from 1994-1997 where I would compete across the state of Oklahoma in numerous USTA tournaments. Additionally, our high school hosted and participated in weekly matches and tournaments during the fall and spring school semesters. On a personal level, I am a Christian, husband, father, and hobbies are numerous because I’m an adventurous guy (tennis, golf, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, mountain and trail hiking, Astronomy). Professionally, I completed my Master’s Degree in 2016 & recently my PMP Certification (Project Management Professional). Security+ (CE) certified. Additionally, I coached Jr. Flag football (6 seasons), Jr. Volleyball (1 season) & Little League Baseball (2 seasons). My MinistrySafe Background Church sponsored by First Baptist Church of Georgetown (TX) was renewed as of July 2025 which included specific training in Sexual Assault Prevention and Reporting. TMT has a copy of the previous background annual check. During the week of 21-25 July 2025, I volunteered and served as the Small Group Leader for one of the 4th & 5th grades boys and girls (16 children; 2 supporting volunteers). 2025 RECAP: 30 Different Students 173 Lessons of Varying Player Levels Age Groups included: -Young children -Teenagers -Adults

"As an adult beginner who wants to learn how to play causally with friends, Piyush has helped me better understand the game. He is very patient when I have questions. As a result of my lessons, I have better awareness of the game and how to respond. He’s good at changing his pace to accommodate my learning while also encouraging me to learn new things.

Coaching for 2 years, been playing for 14 years competitively. Tennis is my passion and I’m ready to share it with you. Covering the basics from rules to form to advance concepts like gameplay tactics and strategy. I speak both English and Spanish.

I've been playing tennis since I was about 10-12 years old. I competed as a junior, played through high school, and continued for two years at the college level. During my college years, I instructed at summer sports camps in the New York area, working with kids and young athletes across different skill levels. I love help players understand proper technique and build confidence as their game improves. I have a full-time job, but coaching is something I genuinely enjoy.
