Franchises

No you do not. Ideally you will have some sports coach qualification, but this is not mandatory…. most importantly of all is that you like working with your children

Teddy Soccer has many USPs but the top four are:

• Teddy Soccer Music: There are currently over 40 Teddy Soccer songs in the Teddy Soccer music catalogue; each song has been specifically written for a particular Teddy Soccer Activity and provides the right rhythm and timing for doing the activity; the words of the song tell the children what to do. No other children’s franchise programs has developed such a focused or extensive range of music to accompany their programs.
• Teddy Soccer Pictures: every Teddy Soccer Activity, of which there are currently over 50, is taught using pictures of teddy bears playing Teddy Soccer; this simple, interactive approach to teaching young children works brilliantly.
• The Teddy Soccer Coaches Manual: its unique, its comprehensive, it’s educational, it’s engaging, there is noting like it on the market and best of all young children love it.
• Teddy Soccer’ teaching system follows a curriculum and has been developed using the Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) accelerated learning style.

No you do not. Teddy Soccer can be taught anywhere, inside or outside. The most important requirement is have a safe and secure playing area that is easy and convenient for parents to get to.

Teddy Tennis, the sister programme to Teddy Soccer has been commercially operating since 2008.  Teddy Soccer is currently running in a few locations in the UK as well as overseas.

Teddy Tennis, the sister programme of Teddy Soccer  is proven and works, brilliantly. To set up something remotely similar of your own is doable but it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, take several years to complete and by then Teddy Soccer will have been further developed to make it even better still.

There are four characteristics that will make a Teddy Soccer Franchisee successful:

• • Integrity: i .e. commit to doing what you say you will do!
  • Drive: i.e. to make your Teddy Soccer Franchise happen, it won’t do it on its own!
  • Time: i.e. time to devote to selling, marketing, managing and delivering Teddy Soccer in your territory or at your club.
  • Passion: a passion for working with young children

There are four costs that you will need to cover in order to set up a Teddy Soccer Franchise or License

• Franchise fees vary based on the size of your franchise territory or if you decide just to license one location.
• There is a onetime training fee. This amount varies based upon the number of Coaches being trained and any travel/accommodation expenses.
• Equipment: you will need at least one set of Teddy Soccer equipment which includes the training manual, music, racquets, balls, net and other Teddy Soccer branded items. This cost can vary based on the number of locations.
• Royalty Fees: the royalty fee is set at 10% of your gross revenue and is paid monthly, quarterly or at specified dates throughout the year in arrears.

The set up costs for running a Teddy Soccer Franchise are very reasonable however should you require some assistance in this area then we can set up a monthly payment option on the Franchise Fees.

A typical Teddy Soccer territory covers a population base of 200,000 people +/- 10%. The geographic size in terms of area can vary enormously.

A Teddy Soccer franchise will make some money when they receive payment for their first Teddy Soccer lesson however it will take a little time for a Teddy Soccer franchisee to establish a sustainable, profitable business; typically this is between 6 to 9 months.

The only limitation you have to expanding your franchise is when you reach 100% saturation level of children aged 2½ to 5+ learning Teddy Soccer in your area. To achieve anything close to this you will need to recruit a team of coaches to help you deliver the Teddy Soccer lessons. You can of course expand you business by opting to purchase more Teddy Soccer territories.

We provide an extensive level of support to help your franchise as our success is based upon you being successful.
We provide 5 types of support:

• Music, pictures, story book and products.
• Training and coaches manual.
• Business Development: we require all franchisees to have monthly conference calls with Teddy Soccer to discuss the development and expansion of their business and offer mentoring and advice as and when it is needed.
• Marketing: good marketing is critical for the success of your franchise. Teddy Soccer provides franchisees with a wide range of marketing material that has been designed to be customized so as to meet your specific needs… and if we don’t have want you need, we will create new marketing artwork that will deliver what you require as part of the service.
• Coaching and Assessment: we are continually developing new activities, songs and lesson plans and to keep you abreast of what is new we provide franchisees with one on one Skype calls.

Training is very important, even to well qualified Soccer coaches as the teaching system that is used in Teddy Soccer is quiet different from conventional Soccer coaching. There are two methods to be trained to become a Teddy Soccer Coach:

• Attend a Teddy Soccer Training Course: Teddy Soccer training courses are periodically held at designated centers in different geographic locations.
• Have Teddy Soccer Trainers Deliver training at Your Location: If you have several coaches to be trained, it may be more economical to arrange to have Teddy Soccer Trainers deliver Teddy Soccer training at your location.

It is our intention to keep Teddy Soccer fresh, vibrant and new, hence we are continually writing new songs, creating new activities drawing new pictures and revising and developing new lesson plans: so you can expect to see a continual on – going evolution of Teddy Soccer.

Yes, we very much encourage potential franchisees to not only speak to existing franchisees, but to see them delivering the program too.
