What is Teddy Tennis
Teddy Tennis Overview
Teddy Tennis is a unique program that inspires young children aged 3½ to 5½ to get active and will make a significant contribution to reducing childhood obesity: it may also help create a future British Wimbledon Champion!
The Teddy Tennis program is based upon a whole series of songs, pictures, teddy bear characters and games that inspire young children to play tennis. All the songs, pictures, characters and games have been specifically written and created by Teddy Tennis for Teddy Tennis and they all play a key role in the program.
Music is used in all Teddy Tennis lessons. It provides the rhythm that is key to playing tennis successfully. Music helps speed up the learning process and it also increase the children’s attention span, but above all it makes Teddy Tennis lessons fun. The words to the songs relate directly to the exercises or games being played and tell the children what to do. The children love the music and they very quickly pick up the words and sing along.
The pictures of teddy bears characters also play a key role in every Teddy Tennis lesson. They are used by the Teddy Tennis coaches to show the children what they are to do in each game and exercise. The children really relate to the teddy bear characters in these pictures, they see them as role models and want to copy everything the teddy bears do.
