Football Academy (GEMS American Academy)

Twice-weekly football at GEMS American Academy in Khalifa City — it doesn’t get more convenient than this. Elite Sports Academy runs sessions every Tuesday and Thursday, split by age so every child trains at the right level. Kids aged 4-7 get the pitch first at 17:00. The 8-12 age group follows at 18:00. Sessions are one hour of focused, fun football development. Elite’s coaches don’t just run drills. They assess every player’s technical ability, game understanding, and confidence. Your child ends up in the group that challenges them — not bores them. The Academy programme is open to all abilities. Total beginners are as welcome as kids who’ve played for years. Elite Sports Academy has been building Abu Dhabi’s football community for years. Their school-based model means kids train in familiar, safe environments. Paid trials available so you can check it out before signing up.

“Open to children aged 4 to 14 years, our community sessions provide an opportunity for footballers of all ages and abilities to learn the game in a fun and educational environment. Through engaging coaching sessions, players participate within their age category, amplifying enjoyment and improvement.”
