Lori Burdell
Training and Quality Assurance Manager
A Pittsburgh, Pa. native, seasoned tennis instructor and USPTA professional, Burdell brings with her more than 15 years of professional tennis teaching experience and an eye for innovation.
Lori served as Senior Recreation Coordinator at the Henry McMullen Tennis Complex in Clearwater, where she oversaw facility operations for the city while creating new tennis programs for the community.
“I enjoy developing and growing tennis businesses at every level, whether it be a new club starting from the ground up or an old facility floundering and in need of an overhaul, helping facilities and bringing them back to life is very gratifying.”
“Tennis has and will always be my passion and choice as an occupation, and I am excited to aid in the regrowth of tennis facilities across the state of Florida.”
