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.



I'm deeply passionate about tennis, having played tournaments for 10 years and currently representing my college's tennis team. Back in Peru, I made my mark in national tournaments, finishing in the top ten under 18 at the age of 17. My journey includes competing in international tournaments, where I clinched victories in both national singles and doubles competitions. Transitioning to coaching three years ago, I bring a wealth of experience from my years on the court. I've coached kids playing at the national level and individuals with varying competitive backgrounds, putting in a dedicated effort to help each player reach their full potential. Let's hit the courts and elevate your tennis game together!
