My focus.
I'm Perris Burke, an RSPA-certified tennis coach based in Bowie, Maryland. I offer private tennis lessons for juniors and adults. For over 13 years, I've helped players build their game from the feet up: how you move, how you strike, and how you think through a point.

Burke.
Tennis has taken me from collegiate competition to the ITF Circuit. Coaching lets me bring that experience to your side of the net.
Since 2012, I've taught juniors and adults through WTEF, Rock Creek Tennis Center, Sportfit, and my own private coaching. My work ranges from building a beginner's foundation to developing the technique and strategy of national-level juniors.
I've also trained with ATP and WTA professionals and served as a hitting partner for Clervie and Malkia Ngounoue, Alana Smith, and Jada Robinson. Those experiences inform how I prepare players, while each lesson stays focused on the person in front of me.
- RSPA Certified
- USTA SafePlay Certified

My own training includes Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC), Severn Valley, Sportfit, and WTEF.

Better feet.
Clearer thinking.
A stronger stroke is only part of the work. I connect technique, efficient footwork, and match strategy so you understand both how to play a shot and when to use it.
See the detail.
Feel the difference.
Video analysis helps us see what happens between preparation and contact. From there, I build technical progressions, movement drills, and match-play situations around the areas you need most.
