SHAURYA PIPLANI

I have nothing but love for tennis, a sport I've played since I was 7. Over the years, I have won many national tournaments and participated in many international tournaments in different countries. After moving to the US, I played at two Division 2 and one Division 1 college, and graduated with an ALL PSAC Men's Singles honor in 2023. My coaching philosophy emphasizes personalized instruction, technical skills, mental toughness, and a love for the game. I strive to help each individual achieve their personal best while ensuring they have fun and enjoy the sport. Off the court, I enjoy playing soccer, swimming, working out, and exploring new places. I'm excited to be a part of the CCC and look forward to contributing to the success and enjoyment of all members and players.
