“I once watched him make a kid who had never made a basket in his life take 113 shots. The kid missed every single one of them. But Teddy kept encouraging him to try again, and on the 114th shot the kid finally made it and everyone went crazy. He wanted to quit so bad, but Teddy wouldn’t let him.”
— Tobias, player
Frequently asked questions
Can we use Step Up For Students or PEP for this?
Yes, both. TDBA is a fully approved Step Up provider and we invoice the state directly, so you never pay up front and wait to be paid back. Homeschool Small Private Group is on the approved list, along with classes, camps, leagues and memberships. In the provider directory search our full name, Teddy Dupay Basketball Academy; searching TDBA will not find us.

When can we come for a private lesson?
Slots are 2:30pm and 3:00pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at the Activities Building, 2nd Level, 302 W. Kennedy Blvd in downtown Tampa. You pick your slot on the checkout, so the time is set before you pay. Homeschool Small Private Group is the exception: it runs during daytime school hours, so you book first and we settle the day and time with you straight after.
What if we need a different time, or several lessons?
Ask us here: https://www.teddydupay.com/contact-us. Custom times and bulk packages are put together one family at a time — tell us what you have in mind and we will come back to you.
What happens in a private lesson?
Private Lesson is $95/class — choose 1 of 12 Skill-Build workout plans · pick your slot at checkout. 1-on-1 Private Shooting Lesson is $125/class — one full hour · starts with the laser-shooting aid · pick your slot at checkout. Homeschool Small Private Group is $375/session — 2 full hours · during the school day · we set the day and time with you after you book.
Is a private lesson better than a class for my kid?
They do different jobs. A private lesson is one player getting the whole hour on one thing. A class puts them with kids their own age and costs $39 — and there are 13 of those a week. Most families end up doing both.
Do you train more than one player at a time?
Yes — private individual and private team training packs are available for all ages. Tell us what you have in mind here: https://www.teddydupay.com/contact-us, and we will put it together.
