If you’re a parent, here’s what your little “Cub Cadet” will need for each Teddy Padel lesson:

– Sports shoes – something comfy and designed for play.
– A bottle of water – staying hydrated is key!
– Sportswear – clothes that are easy to move around in.

A racket is provided at the lesson, or you can buy one from our online shop.

If you’re running a Teddy Padel franchise or programme, you’ll also need specific equipment to support our Cub Cadets. Just reach out through our contact page for more details.

No, you don’t need a tennis court to play Teddy Padel! One of the best things about Teddy Padel is its flexibility – it can be played anywhere with enough space. That might be any indoor area, a squash court, or even outdoors when the weather’s right.

Absolutely! Teddy Padel gives kids the best possible start in tennis. Every game and activity is carefully designed to help young children build the fundamental skills they need, all in a way they can understand and enjoy. Graduates of our Teddy Padel Academy develop top-level skills for their age group, setting them up to become successful tennis players for life.

Absolutely! We’d love to connect with businesses and individuals interested in setting up a Teddy Padel licensee in their local area, anywhere in the world. For more details, visit our franchise website, or get in touch with us at info@teddysportsworld.com. We’re always happy to hear from potential partners!

Yes, they can! And we’ve been proving it for over 20 years. With the right equipment, trained teachers, and an engaging educational framework – like our music, games, and visuals that let kids “see it, hear it, and do it” – the system works brilliantly. Plus, kids love it, want to play more and more, and often discover a lifelong love of activity.

You can buy rackets, balls, t-shirts, and more on our online shop.

Teddy Padel began as an idea in 2002. The two founders, Richard and Stephen, both passionate about tennis, noticed a gap – there wasn’t a fun, effective way for very young children to learn the basics of the game. But they knew that young kids, around two and a half and up, are at the perfect age to build strong habits, muscle memory, and foundational skills. So they set out to create a programme that would be perfect for that age group.

They asked themselves, “What do little kids love?” and came up with stories, games, music, and activities. Piece by piece, they built a programme around these elements, creating teddy bear characters, fun games, and music with rhythms to match the activities. It was a gradual process, and each element they introduced had to pass one very important test: “Do kids love it?”

This approach, which engages kids visually, audibly, and kinaesthetically, means that every child can learn in their own way. The founders wanted Teddy Padel to be accessible to all young learners, helping each child develop a love for tennis. Such was the success of Teddy Padel that the founders created even more sports programmes following the same model – you can see Teddy Soccer, Teddy Padel, and more on our Teddy Sports World site.

Today, Richard and Stephen feel deeply grateful to the thousands of “Cub Cadets” and their parents who’ve helped evolve Teddy Padel into what it is now. And of course, they’re always learning, growing, and improving the programmes – but only once each new idea passes that all-important kid test!
