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 precisionβhelping players understand not just what to do, but why it works. Whether youβre refining your footwork, improving shot selection, or developing advanced strategies, I emphasize the details that make a real difference in performance. Iβm 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've played competitive pickleball for 2 years and I regularly play in 5.0 tournaments and cash games, some of which I have won. My playing philosophy centers around strong defense, consistency, and capitalizing on your opponentsβ mistakes. Iβm also a big advocate of recording your own games. Watching your play back is one of the fastest ways to identify patterns, correct mistakes, and make meaningful progress. If youβre ready to build a smarter, more consistent game, Iβd love to work with you.
"Grant was a kind and patient coach! I walked away with multiple tangible takeaways and was a better player in an hour! I highly recommend Grant!
