Saviano High Performance Tennis

What Saviano High Performance Tennis does

Saviano High Performance Tennis (SHPT) is a privately held, founder-owned elite tennis academy established in 1998 and headquartered at a multi-court facility in Davie, Florida. Founded by Nick Saviano, a former ATP Top 50 player (ATP ranking #48) with 9 years on the ATP tour and 35+ years as a high-performance coach, the academy serves competitive junior players (ages 9-18), college-bound athletes, touring professionals, parents, and coaches. The company claims to have trained over 50 players who reached the professional ranks, including Grand Slam winners and Olympic gold medalists, and reports a 100% college placement rate for players pursuing collegiate tennis.

The company's core offering is built around the Saviano Method, a proprietary coaching methodology developed over 45+ years and codified in the book "Maximum Tennis." Programmatic offerings include Full-Time Developmental Programs, Part-Time After School Programs (priced at $368-$1,840 per month based on days per week), Summer Programs ($753-$1,209 per week), Holiday Camps ($798-$1,152 per week), and Week-to-Week Tournament Training, with a stated maximum 4:1 coach-to-player ratio and Nick Saviano personally on-court daily. The academy is supported by an ecosystem of educational partners (American Heritage Academy, Xceed Prep, Laurel Springs, ICL Academy) for academic integration and consulting partners (Athletix Training, Tara Collingwood nutrition, Nutrifit Sport Therapy, Neyer Performance Strategies) for athletic, nutritional, and mental performance services. Saviano also runs a Distance Training program for remote players and offers add-on services including private lessons, college placement, pro player consulting, coaching partnerships, and player evaluations.

The business operates on a recurring tuition model for in-person training and a subscription model for its digital channel, Saviano Online, a self-serve subscription platform launched in 2022 with 300+ videos, podcasts, blogs, courses, and Q&A content priced at $29.99/month (annual billing) with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a $297/year Black Friday bundle. Distribution relies primarily on word-of-mouth referrals, social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok), and the reputation-driven network of college coaches and alumni. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• USTA National Campus: The USTA National Campus in Orlando, FL is the flagship USTA training and development facility offering junior programs, coach education, and adult play. Comparable as an elite junior development and high-performance coaching hub, but operated by the sport's governing body rather than as a private academy.
• IMG Academy (Nick Bollettieri Tennis): IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL is the largest multi-sport training academy in the U.S., with tennis as one of its marquee programs (formerly the Bollettieri Tennis Academy). Comparable as an elite junior-to-pro tennis development pathway, but broader in scope (multi-sport, boarding school, NCAA infrastructure) and substantially larger in scale.

Direct peers

• Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar: The Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, Spain is a high-performance tennis and academic academy targeting elite juniors, college prospects, and touring pros. Directly comparable methodology-driven, full-time/short-stay program structure, and college placement focus, though international in geography.
• Sanchez-Casal Academy: Located in Barcelona, Spain (formerly Naples, FL), Sanchez-Casal Academy is a long-established tennis and academic academy combining elite training with full-time schooling. Directly comparable to SHPT's full-time developmental + academic partnership model, with similar college-placement and pro-development positioning.
• Rick Macci Tennis Academy: Rick Macci Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, FL trains elite junior players and has produced multiple tour-level pros. Comparable Florida-based high-performance academy, founder-led coaching brand, and junior-to-pro development focus, though smaller scale than SHPT.
• Mouratoglou Academy: Founded by Patrick Mouratoglou (long-time coach of Serena Williams) in France, the Mouratoglou Academy is a globally recognized elite tennis training center. Comparable in methodology-led positioning, elite junior and touring-pro clientele, international student base, and premium pricing model, though regional to Europe.
• Evert Tennis Academy: Founded by Chris Evert in Boca Raton, FL, Evert Tennis Academy is one of the most prominent U.S. junior tennis development academies. Directly comparable to SHPT in target market (elite juniors, college placement), Florida location, methodology-led positioning, and tiered full-time/after-school programs.
• Todd Martin Tennis Academy: Todd Martin Tennis Academy, founded by former ATP pro Todd Martin, is a Michigan-based elite junior tennis academy with full-time and part-time programs. Comparable in former-pro founder brand, junior development focus, and college placement support, though operating in a different U.S. region.

Emerging players

• Essential Tennis (Ian Westermann): Essential Tennis is a subscription-based online tennis instruction platform with video lessons, courses, and a podcast. Comparable to Saviano Online as a digital tennis education product targeting amateur players and coaches, but with a self-taught instruction approach rather than a celebrity-coach brand.

Others

• Tennis Channel / Tennis.com: Tennis Channel and tennis.com are the dominant U.S. tennis media brands producing video instruction, news, and live tennis content. Comparable to Saviano Online as a content/educational channel for tennis players and coaches, but operating as media/publisher rather than a coaching methodology brand.
