About Donny

Hi there my name is Donny and I am a local Bradenton tennis coach with over 25 years of playing experience! I have also been teaching as a USPTA Certified Tennis Professional for over 17 years which has included fitness training with players on the court and off the court. I currently own and operate Saab-Alvarez Tennis & Fitness Academy.

Originally from the New York City area, I was a professional personal trainer there and worked as a personal coach as well as for the New York Sport Times & National Tennis Center in Flushing Queens. I also have a BA degree in American Studies in Government from the State University of New York at Old Wesbury. I moved to Florida in 2009.

My passions are running and cycling in addition to teaching tennis. So whatever your aspiration or skill level, I will find a way to improve your game and your life. Tennis is a wonderful and exciting journey that is never ending. In addition, I truly believe in not overcharging for tennis lessons because I love teaching the great game of tennis!

I offer fun private tennis lessons, semi-private tennis lessons & group tennis lessons for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). I teach tennis lessons in the Bradenton area at Martha King Middle School in Palma Sola but I am also willing to travel up to 10 miles to a tennis court close to you.

Please contact me through my FindTennisLessons.com coach page and then I will contact you back within 24 hours to introduce myself, answer any questions and if you are interested, we’ll set-up your first tennis lesson at a time and place that is convenient for both of us. I look forward to hearing from you & I look forward to the opportunity to be your local Bradenton tennis coach. Thank You and God Bless!

Donny Bradenton Tennis Coach

Testimonials

"Coach Donny is an exceptional instructor. He made small adjustments to my grip during the first lesson that had a significant impact on my game. He provides ongoing feedback during lessons that is tailored specifically to your level of play. As you grow as a player, he increases the intensity of practice, always including new techniques, making you more successful on the court. His style of coaching shows he wants you to succeed as much as you do. I highly recommend Coach Donny!"

Testimonials

"I've had about four lessons with Donny as my coach and I just wanted to tell everyone how wonderful he is. I've had lessons in the past but nothing like this and it's amazing what I've learned in this short time. I've never played a game in my life-I would take lessons and then not follow through with them. Now I am committed to it, Donny really helps, he's knowledgeable and his patience is outstanding. I'm in my late 60's, very energetic and never thought I would ever get to a point to where I would be able to play a game but now I can see that I will be playing fairly soon!"

"Donny is just what the Dr. ordered for my game. I had been to 4 other instructors and none of them saw the problems with my mechanics he saw. He merged the corrections with game drills that have improved my game. I HIGHLY recommend him. Smart instructor!"

Testimonials

"Professionalism, integrity and fun are the easiest words to define Coach Donny’s work. His dedication is remarkable-he identified my weaknesses and worked a lot on them while preserving the best of my abilities. At the beginning my serve was a joke, today after 5 consecutive training months I can put the ball in with confidence and start any game in a very decent way. I really recommend him to learn and improve tennis-you will never get out dry from the court with him!"

Testimonials

"I enjoy the classes with Donny because I can see my progress quickly. He is very kind, patient and motivates you to give the best of you. I have confidence in myself every time I play now. He pushes me to the limits but that's good because I can see how much I have improved and the quality of tennis that he teaches is worth much more than what he charges per hour. He teaches by passion and desire to form good athletes. Money is not his priority but it is of course important. He is a professional coach and excellent person!"

"We are relatively new to working with Coach Donny. My daughter is young and to be honest, we really weren't sure what to expect. From the very first interaction, Coach has been an absolute pleasure to work with and he is incredibly good with our daughter. He is not only very knowledgeable and proficient in his coaching abilities, he is also kind and patient in his delivery of instruction. We are extremely pleased with the progress our daughter has made in just a short time!"

"I reached out to FindTennisLessons.com and within just a few hours Coach Donny contacted me. He was very professional and set up my first tennis lesson that week. As a beginner I was a bit nervous but Donny is such a skilled, enthusiastic and patient coach-it was a phenomenal first lesson. I continue my lessons each week and would highly recommend him to students new to tennis and those wanting to reacquaint themselves or become more proficient with tennis!"
