Your game.
My focus.
I'm Perris Burke. For over 13 years, I've helped juniors and adults 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.

Coaching with
intent.
I've coached beginners finding their first rally and juniors competing at the national level. We start with where you are, then give the next step a purpose.
Private lessons
One-to-one coaching for juniors and adults. Build sound technique, sharpen your footwork, and understand your game with focused video analysis.
02
Junior development
Structured progressions for ambitious young players, with attention to technique, tactical awareness, and the discipline to keep growing.
03
Match preparation
Connect practice to competition. Work on point construction, movement under pressure, and the mental habits that support better decisions.

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.

Progress matters. So does a lasting love for the game.
