Our Coaches: The Minds Behind the NICE Philosophy
We don't just stand on the sidelines with clipboards. Our coaches are active, competitive players who bring the intensity of a live match straight to your net session.
Introducing our Head Coach, Nihal Ullal. An active first-division captain and former Karnataka player, he understands the modern game and embodies our fearless coaching philosophy.
Our coaches walk the talk. Here are three of our coaches who were runners-up in the Coastal Big Bash League, showcasing their own skills and competitive spirit.

About Our Coaches in Action
Our coaches don't just teach from a textbook. Take Nihal Ullal, our Head Coach and an active KSCA 1st Division captain, who brings current, on-ground match experience to every session. Then there is Kiran Uppoor, whose intense match simulations are legendary for pushing players to their breaking point. We train like we play—fearlessly, with constant feedback, and zero sugar-coating.
At NICE, the divide between 'coach' and 'player' is blurred because we believe that to teach the game properly, you need to be in the heat of it.
Why Our Approach Works
When our coaches talk about facing a new-ball spell or setting a field in a death-over situation, they are speaking from experience they gathered on the ground last weekend, not a decade ago.
The Training Intensity
If you ask any of our players, they will tell you that Kiran's coaching goes beyond technical drills. It is about psychology. He runs scenarios that put players under immense pressure: chasing impossible targets, defending low scores, or recovering from a bad powerplay. As players like Vrinda Dinesh have shared, those sessions where you walk away frustrated are the ones that actually build the match-winner in you.
What You Get
- Real-Time Analysis: We use high-speed video for biomechanical feedback, fixing your grip or stance before bad habits set in.
- Tactical Mentorship: We don't just fix your cover drive. We teach you how to read the bowler and set your own field.
- Honest Feedback: We celebrate the 'Shabash!' moments, but we are equally vocal when you lose focus.
We are here to get you match-ready, not just 'net-ready'. Whether you are a U-14 beginner or a pro looking to sharpen your T20 game, our team is there to ensure you improve every single session. We are a family, and we move forward together.
