Hello my name is Nagraj and I am a local Knoxville pickleball coach! I have started playing pickleball recently and have picked up the sport quite well. I believe this is because I have been a tennis player for over 30 years and a tennis coach for over 8 years. I am also a local PTR Certified Tennis Professional here in the Knoxville area as well. Please click here to view my FindTennisLessons.com coach page.
My tennis teaching experience can be useful to pickleball players looking to enter the sport because there are many similarities and a few notable differences as well. Students I teach will notice that I like to stress on the fundamentals and enjoyment/creativity during my pickleball lessons. I also like to emphasize basic fitness and warmup exercises for my students to avoid injuries and also enhance their performance on the court. I can help with basic tactics and strategy at this time and hope to add more advanced tactics going forward. I teach pickleball lessons in Knoxville but will travel up to 20 miles!
