About & Coaching with Arjun
Arjun Puri
Adult pickleball coach & 4.5-level player · Charlotte, NC
I’m a pickleball coach based in Charlotte, North Carolina, working exclusively with adult players. I currently compete at the 4.5 level in both singles and doubles, and I bring that tactical and technical experience directly into my coaching.
I specialize in working with 3.0–3.5 adult players who want to build more confident strokes, smarter patterns, stronger footwork, and better game understanding. My sessions combine targeted drills with live play so you can apply what you learn right away.
Everything I teach is practical and level-appropriate—no pro-level sequences that don’t match what you see in your rec games. You’ll leave each session with 1–2 clear things to focus on and an understanding of how they translate into real points.
