I'm a dynamic sports enthusiast with a knack for leadership and a passion for competition. From college tennis to captaining a 4.5 Men's League team in Phoenix, I've thrived in various athletic arenas. As a head coach for high school volleyball and captain for advanced adult volleyball teams, I've honed my skills on and off the court. I compete daily with top-rated players in pickleball, securing victories like the AZ vs. Las Vegas Asian doubles tournament. Beyond my successes, I've also shared my expertise, teaching and mentoring others, including my sister, who has risen to become the #1 female pickleball player in Asia.
"My coach ensured I continued to develop skills from one lesson to another.


Hello, my name is Derek Parker. I am 23 years old, and I live and train in north Peoria/Surprise. I am a firefighter for the City of Peoria. My work schedule allows me to be very open and flexible. As a 4.5+ DUPR-rated player with experience competing in high-level tournaments, I bring both skill and passion to the court. My teaching style focuses on breaking down technique with precision—helping players understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you’re refining your footwork, improving shot selection, or developing advanced strategies, I emphasize the details that make a real difference in performance. I’m dedicated to helping you build a strong technical foundation and elevate your game with confidence.
"We practiced sinks, drops shots, backhand shots, serves, and returns.
