What the LTA/British Tennis says

We think it is a great idea for the 3 and 5 year olds to build a foundation of good all round athletic fundamentals with music and pictures to help the youngsters understand the learning experience of tennis, we wish them well in their venture

What the experts say about Teddy Tennis

Teddy Tennis is a unique and innovative program that introduces children to the fundamentals of tennis.

The unique approach of combining music with motion creates an ideal learning environment for children of all ages and abilities to develop sound athletic and tennis skills.

A child could not receive a better start to tennis.  Teddy Tennis is the best I have seen.

Since we've had Teddy Tennis at my school, the difference that I've seen in my pupils, are that they are just so enthusiastic about sport in general. They can see their own skills developing, they love the arrival of Head Ted because they know they're going to have fun; lots of music while they do their tennis skills, so they just love every minute of it.

I am a PTR and LTA qualified coach and have worked at the Richard Kraijcek tennis foundation in Holland for five years. I have seen lessons to some kids from Teddy Tennis and they all have good technique, good coordination and great tennis skills. Teddy Tennis has given them the basic foundation. It's great!"

What the parents say about Teddy Tennis

Since we started creating the Teddy Tennis programme we have received literally hundreds of accolades and praise from very happy parents.

Just wanted to say how happy we are with your program! Reese LOVES it and I'm so impressed with how the program is run and organized. Thanks for your great work! I'm a teacher myself and do appreciate how difficult it can be to keep 4 year olds organized and you do it so well!

Thanks!

I just wanted to give you some feedback and let you know what we have decided to do regarding Kai's tennis this half term.

As you know, Kai has been involved in the tennis lessons at WestWay tennis for the past few months, in fact it was on your recommendation that we took him there. He is doing very well and has been placed in one of the top groups there, playing alongside children 3 or 4 years older than he is.

The coaches keep telling me how impressed they are with his ability and can't believe that a 5 year old is playing at such a high level. A lot of the coaches there are well aware of what you are doing and think it's great. I told them you had been working with Kai since he was two and a half and as far as I am concerned it was his foundation in Teddy Tennis that has not only given him his passion for tennis but also the techniques, movement and racquet skills, etc. that are now taking him to the next level.

Having said all this, Kai really misses Teddy Tennis and talks about you and the other coaches all the time. I think he misses all the fun and games at TT. His favourite tennis t-shirt is still his Head Ted one, and he wears it all the time.

You are probably already aware that we have booked Kai in for the half term camp - he is very happy that we haven't stopped the Teddy Tennis. My wife and I are also very happy as we believe that you still have some of the best coaches around and that the Teddy Tennis lessons are great value.

Amazingly we have also seen a great improvement with Kai at school. We believe that the confidence and level of concentration that you instilled in him through Teddy Tennis has contributed to his performance at school. He is turning out to be a great student with an amazing level of concentration. As you can tell, well are very proud of him (!) and also grateful for the fantastic foundation you have given him, for sports as well as academics.

I hope things are going well with you and TT. I look forward to catching up at half term!!

Keep up the great work!!

My son Zac loved the Teddy Tennis classes in London, but now we have moved to Singapore and the conventional tennis lessons are just too boring to keep him interested. We miss Teddy Tennis!

After just 5 days of Teddy Tennis my daughter Jessica's racket, ball and co-ordination has improved hugely. A fantastic course that introduces children to the skill and fun of tennis.

Emma Schulte, mother

Thank you for a great summer of Teddy Tennis. We live in New York and have just spent our vacation in London. We signed our four year old daughter up for four weeks of Teddy Tennis camp and she has LOVED it. She wakes every morning and can't wait to get to the courts. She sings the songs, she has learnt to catch and to volley and made some friends. The coaches are great fun and very professional. There is nothing like this in Manhattan - we really wish there was.

Teddy Tennis is a fantastic way to help young children learn mobility skills in a fun filled atmosphere. The unique approach with the musical activities adds to the fun, my son Joshua really looks forward to it.

Teddy Tennis is a lot of fun for the children

Mother – Beverley Vara

She didn’t like tennis before but she enjoyed her Teddy Tennis. She likes “bouncy” music and catching the balls.

Teddy Tennis is light and wonderful, it inspires; my daughter loved every second of it..

I like Chloe Bear because she has a nice flower in her hair and I like hitting the ball with my friends. It is fun – can we go again now?
