Teddy Tennis lessons comprise a fully programmed series of games and activities covering a combination of movement, racket and ball skills. The key components of the programme are music and pictures. Each game or activity has its own accompanying song specially written with a rhythm for the exercise. Children have an innate sense of rhythm, and this is what really helps the learning process as well as having a dramatic impact on a child’s attention span.

Illustrations of the Teddy Tennis characters show the children in a clear and fun way how each activity works. This combination of music and images works brilliantly through stimulating the visual and auditory senses of young minds……. at the same time.

The Teddy Tennis teaching programme currently consists of over 50 different games and activities and over 40 different songs. Every year new games and songs are introduced to the Teddy Tennis programme to keep it fresh and vibrant.

Teddy Tennis can be played anywhere there is sufficient space, indoors or outdoors making it a year-round programme.

But Teddy Tennis is much more than an activity programme; it will have a dramatic impact on many other areas of child’s development including:

• Speeding up the learning process
• Enhancing co-ordination
• Improving confidence and self-esteem
• Building communication skills and team work
• Laying the foundations for listening & learning
• Inspiring a love of sport
• Teaching the concept of sportsmanship and fair play
• Teaching the essential tennis skills.

Teddy Tennis has received many great testimonies, but we are particularly pleased with what Howard Napper, a Teddy Tennis parent said last year: …… "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.”

Howard concluded: “Kai 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.” Note: Kai was 5 years of age when this testimony was written.

Teddy Tennis was conceived, created and designed in England and is marketed worldwide as a franchise programme, targeting sport & tennis clubs, pre-schools & nurseries, coaches and entrepreneurs. As of January 2012, Teddy Tennis is operating in the UK, USA, Australia, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Egypt, Mauritius and the Maldives.

Should you want to introduce your child to Teddy Tennis, then probably the best approach is to ask the manager or owner of the Nursery or Day Care you use, to contact us. We at Teddy Tennis would be more than happy to arrange a complementary demonstration of our programme. Without fail, every demonstration we do is very well received by children, parents and teachers alike: the next step is then to train up a local Teddy Tennis Coach.
