Book Lessons with Coach Dejonice
I train flag football players to build their game all around while having fun.
I’m coach Parris, and I’m a flag football (plus American football) ,and speed performance coach. I help athletes of all ages develop the elite footwork, burst acceleration, and field awareness that translate directly to scoring touchdowns , knowing the right plays to do and pulling flags. A lot of players are just fast, but I focus on how to use your speed with football-specific agility and reaction speeds. I also train athletes to be faster. Whether it’s helping a young kid build on-field confidence or training a competitive adult to secure interceptions and break away from defenders, my goal is to make every athlete faster, smarter, and safer on the field. I’m currently offering 1-on-1 sessions, small group clinics, or team training and I'd love to help you reach your peak performance and career goals. Come work with me!

About Me:
I am coach Parris and love watching and playing sports. I played flag football and basketball in college. I am also a sports fanatic in women and men sports.
How I can help you improve your game:
With my simple training plans tailored to how you play, what you play and who you are.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Because I am visual learner I will show the athlete how to do the drill, explain the purpose of it and make sure the quality and quantity is sufficient enough to improve the player. No time or rep will be wasted. Hard work, repetition, hydration and focus is required but most importantly we are going to have fun. You gotta enjoy the process. Reviews and feedback from training sessions and games will be done after to ensure the athlete knows the reason behind the session and how they can implement it into their game. Reviewing their games are optional and up to the athlete.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve been winning accolades and awards in sports since middle school. Throughout my years playing both sports, I’ve been named MVP, captain, and all-defensive player multiple times, and representing my county by being name to All American first team. Additionally, I’ve been recognized as the female player of the year for my institution and have consistently maintained academic excellence in basketball and flag football throughout my high school and college years. Notably, I also won the national collegiate flag football championship for three consecutive years.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Mia was the best coach I’ve ever had. She was my high school coach and had the privilege of coaching my two oldest sisters. She brought out the hunger in me to strive for the best athlete and person I can be.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am not mean and open to suggestions. I am going to push the best out your child in a respectful and motivating way!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
