Parris Todd’s journey into professional sports began at a young age. Growing up in Newport Shores, California, she was introduced to tennis at five when she requested a racket from her parents. This early interest led her to the Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida at eight, where she honed her skills and developed a competitive spirit.

By the age of 13, Todd was competing in the USTA girls’ 14s, 16s, and 18s divisions, achieving regional and national rankings. Her dedication to tennis culminated in over 85 international titles, showcasing her prowess and commitment to the sport. In 2020, as the world faced the challenges of the pandemic, Todd discovered pickleball.

The sport’s dynamic nature and strategic depth captivated her, leading her to pursue it professionally. Within a short period, she made a significant impact, earning over 43 medals across the APP and PPA Tours. Her versatility was further demonstrated in 2022 when she secured two Major League Pickleball titles with Team BLQK.

The following year, Todd achieved a historic Triple Crown at the US Open Pickleball Championships, winning gold in women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. This accomplishment solidified her reputation as one of the sport’s elite players. Off the court, Todd’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through her fashion line, Waisted, USA, which offers contemporary streetwear and sportswear for women.

Her partnership with Franklin Sports in 2024 further underscores her influence in the pickleball community, as she co-designed a signature paddle and performance accessories.
