Football Academy (GEMS Founder School – Masdar City)

Families in Khalifa City have a brilliant football option right on their doorstep. Elite Sports Academy runs three days a week at GEMS Founder School — Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday. Monday and Wednesday follow the same structure: younger kids (4-10 years) train at 17:00, with older players (11-14 years) following at 18:00. Sunday adds an early morning session at 8:00 for the 4-7 age group. That’s a lot of football. And that’s exactly the point. Elite’s Academy programme welcomes all abilities. Your child doesn’t need experience to join. Coaches assess every player and place them in the right age group. They focus on technical skills, game understanding, and building real confidence on the ball. Elite Sports Academy has earned a strong following in Abu Dhabi’s school communities. They keep groups manageable so coaches know every player by name. Paid trials available — come and see why families keep coming back.
