For over 30 years, tennis has been an integral part of my life, encompassing roles as a junior and adult player.

Additionally, I've had the privilege of coaching young talents at various skill levels, from imparting the basics to nurturing competitive players. Tennis isn't just a game; it's a legacy I continue to build through teaching and mentoring the next generation.

"Neeraj's lesson provided some useful tips on serving, which I appreciated honestly. Though there's still room to keep learning more, I found his approach quite straightforward and balanced. Still, I think focusing more on specific drills could help me improve further. If you're mildly interested in refining your pickleball serve, it might be worth giving Neeraj a try.

Greetings! I'm new to North Carolina, was just transferred by my company to Triad area. I was recently privileged to be coaching 13 students weekly in December 2025. I'm a former Tournament Competition player who played at the Championship Tournament Level with 20 years of coaching, I enjoy helping players of all levels reach their full potential on the court. I foster a fun, yet disciplined environment where skills are honed and a love for the game is ignited. I purposely keep my hourly rate as low as possible, not for lack of experience but rather to allow young ones and all families to be able to afford an introduction to this wonderful game. I am a busy professional but like many other busy coaches, I volunteer for Programs at various schools and clubs to help underprivileged kids and was proudly volunteering my time for the Aceing Autism program in DFW and look forward to joining the local effort as well.
"It is a great session.

I am a former collegiate and professional basketball player with a proven track record of leadership and performance. As a standout player and team captain at Elizabeth City State University in the CIAA, I led the conference in points per game during the 2014–2015 season and ranked #5 nationally in NCAA Division II scoring. Known for my dedication, work ethic, and leadership on and off the court, I served as both a team leader and mentor throughout my college career. Following graduation, I continued my basketball journey overseas, competing professionally with South Adelaide in Australia. These experiences have shaped me into a well-rounded athlete and mentor, passionate about developing the next generation of players through skill, discipline, and confidence. For three years, I served as the Middle School Basketball Coach at a public school in Guilford County, where I was responsible for leading all aspects of the boys’ and/or girls’ basketball program. I developed and executed structured practice plans that focused on fundamentals, conditioning, teamwork, and game strategy, while also preparing students for high school-level competition. I mentored student-athletes both on and off the court, promoting character, leadership, and academic accountability. My role as a coach included managing team operations such as coordinating tryouts, scheduling games, organizing transportation, and maintaining regular communication with parents, staff, and school administration. I collaborated closely with teachers and counselors to monitor academic performance and ensure that student-athletes met behavior and eligibility standards. Throughout each season, I emphasized the importance of discipline, sportsmanship, and personal growth, fostering an inclusive and team-oriented environment where every player could thrive. My experience fosters player development through tailored coaching methods. I strive to create an engaging, supportive environment where athletes reach their full potential.
