Puneet Bhatia

Originally from India, my passion for Tennis and coaching pedagogy brought me to New Zealand, where I study Sport Coaching and Exercise Science. Currently competing in Caro Bowl Reserve, along with guest appearances in Chelsea Cup, I bring high-intensity and consistency to all of my sessions. During Term 3 (2026), I was brought on as an official hitting partner for some of New Zealand’s top-ranked junior athletes at Lavie Tennis Academy. Alongside my competitive play, I coach at Lavie Tennis Academy and Gladstone Tennis Club. The amalgamation of competitive experience along with structured coaching allows me to tailor hitting sessions to your developmental goals. Above all, I believe that growth happens best in a positive environment, so having fun and bringing genuine enjoyment to the court is always at the centre of my sessions!
