Chintan
Trivedi.

Trivedi began playing at 17 in a small town in India. Without formal lessons, he practiced on a public court and against a wall, studied biomechanics, and shadowed recordings of professional matches. He soon began competing in state championships and organizing youth instruction, growing a local program from 18 to 84 players.

His coaching path took him to Camp Manitou in Canada and then to the Tennis Club of Riverdale in New York. While continuing to teach, he built careers in banking and real estate. He was a co-founder of McCarren Tennis Center in 2016 and helped launch the club's indoor programming.

He eventually focused his energy on Nassau Tennis and Sports Center, shaping it into a year-round home for juniors, adults, competitive players, and families. His aim is to widen access to the game, strengthen the local tennis community, and help more players make tennis a lifelong sport.

“Tennis for everyone, Tennis for life.”

Pavitra oversees the club's daily operation, including hiring, staff training, and the systems that keep the facility running smoothly. Long Island Tennis Magazine credits her with spearheading the club's modernization and helping create a stronger experience for both players and professionals.

Under her management, Nassau Tennis expanded competitive match play, improved booking, invested in its coaching team, and upgraded the clubhouse and courts. Her leadership combines careful attention to the details of the business with a clear understanding of what a tennis community needs.

Her connection to the game began in India, where she met Chintan through tennis more than 30 years ago. After building a life together across India, Canada, and New York, they now lead the club as business partners and lifelong players.

“The backbone of the business.”
