Teddy Tennis

This is our third term here and we keep hoping that it will get better but it just keeps getting worse. It is completely disorganised, the coaches have no control on what is happening and the parents are all over their kids during the sessions which leads to further chaos. Clear guidelines need to be set for the parents or make it a drop off. For £20+ per class it is a complete joke!

Great staff, fun lessons and definitely see a massive improvement in my son's ability to play. Richard Bean the head Ted is absolutely fantastic and always makes his classes fun, motivating and interesting for the kids. Richard is an inspirational coach who makes kids want to play tennis and run to every class!
We have been going to Teddy tennis for about 3 years and absolutely love it. On top of group classes, we also have 1:1 lessons with Richard and Mo and my son who is 5 is getting really good.
Highly recommend Teddy Tennis to all boys and girls in the neighbourhood!

Teddy tennis is the best outdoors/indoors weekend activity I could have wished for my two year old daughter. She is very active and loves music. Her father is a really good tennis player and keen for the girl to learn from very young but we couldn’t find programmes for kids younger than 4. Then, we heard about Teddy Tennis which is innovative and fun and the coaches are very caring and professional. During one of the sessions at Holland Park, we had the opportunity to meet the founder Richard who is a very knowledgable tennis coach and passionate about music. We have signed up for the whole term.

Having seen a couple of sessions of Teddy Tennis in Holland Park and Kensington leisure centre, I have witnessed some situations that I believe to be unacceptable. One such situation is when coach Zakiwaki (Zakaria) asked the kids to run towards a wall in the squash court, the wall was still under construction, one of the kids fell into the wall and badly injured his face. In another Teddy Tennis session I watched, coach Adel (Hamza) put his hand in the pocket of one of the girls, as I was not sure why he was doing this I asked the Head teacher, Ted Richard, for the reason, Ted Richard Bean said that the coach was looking for a bouncy ball. Not only is this totally unacceptable it is also incredibly unprofessional. The main problem of Teddy Tennis is that Ted Richard does not have any knowledge about tennis, he can barely hit the tennis ball over the net, his only interest is about money not for the safety of your child. Parents should avoid Teddy Tennis at all cost. If you do decide to join them then please speak with one of the experienced Coaches about the organisation of this company.

My two and a half year old LOVES it.
The coach is brilliant with them. Keeps them in check and somehow keeps their attention on the lesson.
I am signing up for more lessons.
Great job guys!

Great! A fantastic team of coaches, I really enjoyed working alongside everyone here!

Our son has been doing Teddy Tennis for a little while now. Classes are fun, a lot of games but not a lot of tennis play. I would say in a session of 50min ish they may play with the racket for about 10 minutes. Today’s class has been moved indoor. Usually classes are about 8+ kids. The venue and the size of net is as seen on the photograph!
I must say this is Very disappointing.

Tennis lessons with teacher Zack are amazing, our 4 years old twins love going to play tennis with him. He is the most patient teacher, extremely kind and devoted, yet he still knows how to keep them on track. He managed to motivate our girl who wasn't initially too keen on tennis. Brilliant teacher Zack and brilliant customer service with Freya, who always responds promptly and positively to any request. All worth it.
