Welcome to Friendly Tennis!
A Note from Precision Tennis Head Pro, Kelly Parker

Welcome to the new tennis program at Friendly Park! We are ready to make this our most fun and best season yet!
I am very excited to be starting with the Frogs in the upcoming months! We have lots of opportunities for everyone to play. We are excited to introduce Quickstart Tennis and year-round league play with our new coaches, Clayton Hamilton and myself.
I come to Friendly from a playing and a coaching background. I grew up in Florida and played junior tennis nationally and internationally. From there I made the decision to attend Duke on a full scholarship for tennis (For the UNC fans, I promise I didn't know I would be upsetting so many people when I made this decision!). I played #1 for Duke for two years, reaching the Number #1 ranking in the NCAA before turning pro. On my two year stint on the pro tour, I earned the right to play all four majors including the US Open. I got the opportunity to play such players as Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova.
After two years on the tour, I came back to North Carolina where I met my husband and finished up my degree at Duke. At Duke, I was the Assistant Women's Tennsi coach with our teams earning the #1 ranking in the country and culminated the year with winning the 2009 NCAA National Championship.

FRIENDLY TENNIS |
Clayton Hamilton will be assisting me throughout the summer. He will be a junior at Greensboro College where he plays #1 under Head Coach & Precision Tennis Academy Director of Tennis, Dave McCain.
I will bring my enjoyment of the game to the courts at Friendly Park and get people out and playing tennis. Please let me know if there are any questions I can answer or if you want to get involved! Please email me or call me at 336-510-4653.
