The Pickleball Connections Academy was founded by Harris. In 2019 Harris was introduced to Pickleball by a longtime friend Bill, who grew up in Seattle WA and started playing in 1974 with his neighbors who were friends with the founders of pickleball. Since then, he has been certified to teach Pickleball by the PPR and has been teaching for several years. He also previously was a Tennis Pro for the IMG Academy.


I’ve spent over 20 years immersed in the Southwest Florida soccer community as a player, coach, and trainer. My journey began at 12 years old, and by 16, I was already coaching youth players. At 20, I earned my USSF C License and made the complete transition into a professional coaching and training career.

As of March 2025, my record stands at 112–39–9, highlighted by district championships in 2019, 2021, 2024, and 2025, a regional title in 2021, and a State Finalist appearance in 2021. That same year, our program was ranked nationally in the USC Top 100, and I was honored to be named News-Press Coach of the Year.
