Teddy Padel Academy expands internationally
The academy is using music, storytelling and custom junior rackets to help children aged 2-8+ build skills and confidence in padel.
Teddy Padel Academy is expanding its specialised junior curriculum across 11 countries, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Georgia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, South Africa, and Mexico.
Building on more than 20 years of success from Teddy Tennis and Teddy Sports World, co-founders Alexander Tvaliashvili and Candice Rawlins said the academy aims "to create positive first sporting experiences for young children."
Teddy Padel uses a multi-sensory "see it, hear it, do it" methodology supporting motor skill development through visual storytelling and interactive games. The company unveiled custom-engineered, ultra-lightweight junior rackets in Malaga in May 2024.
Addressing growing demand for youth padel infrastructure, Teddy Padel Academy is launching a new academy program for players aged 8 and older, creating a pathway from recreational play to competitive sport.
As a global leader in junior sports development for children aged 2–8+, the academy is scaling its proven educational methodologies to strengthen its footprint across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
