According to Peter D. McCraw, an expert in world-class

introduces children to the fundamentals of tennis. Its distinctive approach,

which  combines music with motion creates

an ideal learning environment for children of all ages and abilities to develop

sound athletic and tennis skills and offers a unique introduction to learning to

play and appreciate the tennis game.

“Teddy Tennis is the best I have seen,” said McCraw, who is

also the founder of the “CBD Model” (Competitive Based Development for

Tennis.), a coach educator, leading tennis researcher, and world-renowned

developmental coach.

What the parents are saying

Parents of children that have participated in previous Teddy

Tennis programs believes it “provides a fantastic way to help young children

learn mobility skills in a fun-filled  atmosphere,”

said one father, Damian Bruce. “The unique approach with the musical activities

adds to the fun, my son Joshua really looks forward to it.”

Emma Schulte, another parent said: “After just five days of

Teddy Tennis, my daughter Jessica’s racket, ball, and coordination have

improved hugely. A fantastic course that introduces children to the skill and

fun of tennis.”

to stay active for good,” noted Walter, the program’s director. He believes the

educational benefits Teddy Tennis offers young kids makes it a ‘must do’ summer

activity.
