About Adaptive Tennis Coaching
What We Stand For
Tennis should be for everyone. At PBI, our Adaptive Tennis Coaching is built on making that happen. Whether you’re just starting out or chasing big tournament dreams, there’s a place for you here. Wheelchair tennis training in India is our core strength, but we welcome athletes with all kinds of disabilities - we’ve even coached a national deaf-tennis champ.
Who Can Join
- Wheelchair tennis players, from total beginners to serious competitors
- Athletes wanting tennis coaching for disabilities, no matter your starting point
- Women and kids curious about tennis, especially if you’re new or need extra support
- Anyone aiming for the AITA or ITF tennis circuits
How We Train
Winning comes from grit, not shortcuts. Our sessions mix hands-on tennis drills with tough physical and mobility training. Group workshops help you start out, while one-on-one coaching gets you tournament-ready. We use modern stuff like ball machines to sharpen your game, but we’re big on the basics too.
Where You’ll Play
Our academy runs at the Padukone Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence. Multiple blue hard courts, all covered. No more cancelled sessions for rain or blazing sun. Everything’s wheelchair accessible, so you can just focus on improving.
Why It’s Different
This isn’t just lessons - it’s a real community. We host major events, cheer for every win, and back each other up. Our head coach, Rituplawan Gogoi, leads from the front, and we’re here for your journey, wherever it takes you.

My Story
At PBI, we’re not just about tennis, ya. We’re a proper Bangalore family - all sweat, jokes, and crazy dreams. Some days it’s a little kid learning to swing, other days it’s our high-performers heading out to play for India. We’ve cheered for folks like Sahaja, who hustled hard, did odd jobs, and made it to WTA Top-300. We believe in bouncing back, fighting for every point, and keeping it real. That’s our vibe, for anyone who shows up.
My Work
Coaching for All Levels - We train everyone - junior tennis coaching, pros, and even wheelchair tennis training. Beginners to champs, all welcome.
World-Class Facilities - Our covered tennis courts in Bangalore mean you play, rain or shine. No excuses, just tennis.
Preparing for Victory - We get you ready for UTR, AITA, ITF tournaments. Some go on to represent India, like at BRICS Games.
Building Character - It’s not just about a killer backhand. We focus on character building through tennis. Grit matters.
Learning from the Best - Pro players drop by, share stories, give real advice. Our students get to see what it takes, up close.
