Private Lessons & Coaches in Bonita Springs, FL

I started playing tennis at 11 years old. Among this sport also ping pong was my favorite. I met Pickleball 4 years ago and it seemed a natural combination between the two. Just easier to mastering. I started my path taking private lessons and advanced camps and three years ago i achieved the first PPR Level I Professional Coach Certification. Recently I achieved the Level II from PPR and then I joined IPTPA obtaining the Level I & II Professional Coach Certification. I am a VAIR Rater, a new, innovative, company which has developed an excellent system to rate players for the players. www.vairified.com I am a very patient teacher and a good listener.

With my combination of competitive experience and communication expertise, I’ll help you not just learn the game—but truly enjoy it.

"Oh, alright. The lesson definitely helped me improve my game, especially with my backhand smacking, which was a bit of a weak spot before. Parker's approach is quite steady, and I appreciated how he broke down the techniques without rushing through. Though I think focusing a little more on my backhand during future lessons could really make a difference, still, I feel like I’m making progress. If you’re serious about sharpening your skills, it’s worth giving Parker a shot.

As the Florida Champion in the 4.5 Open category and a PPR-certified coach, I currently serve as the Director of Pickleball at Palmira Country Club in Bonita Springs. In this role, I oversee the entire pickleball program, including delivering high-quality lessons, clinics, events, and tournaments.

Having had a life long passion for racquet sports (Certified Tennis PTR coach 20+ years and national tournament player in Platform Tennis), I was delighted to discover Pickleball 10 years ago when I moved to Naples, Florida. I was fortunate enough to win the Gold Medal in my first Men’s Open Tournament at Veterans Park. A couple of years later, I also won a gold at the US Open. Competing and playing Pickleball for exercise is so exhilarating and addictive. I met so many new players along the way who have asked me to help start them safely or improve their mid level games. I truly enjoy coaching and received my Pickleball IPTPA Teachers certification in 2017.

Have been playing basketball and more importantly, learning and teaching basketball, for a long time now! Has been a great journey! If there's anything that the sport has taught me, it's that you can do anything if you put your mind to it! That's not an opinion, that's a fact! Went from being called tall for nothing my junior, after one very focused and hard-working summer, one of the best players in my area and earned a Division II scholarship. With hard work, willingness to learn, application, and a mind that doesn't allow fear to control it, you can be as good as you want when it comes to basketball! This sport is about 20 percent physical, and 80 percent mental!
