Grinta Sport Academy — Football Academy
About Grinta Sport Academy
Grinta Sport Academy is a football academy for children and teenagers, with two branches: near Tasjeel in Al Qouz Industrial Third, Dubai, and behind Lulu Hypermarket in Al Nahda, Sharjah. Its Kids Academy splits players into four age groups - 4-7, 8-10, 11-13 and 14-17 - and within each group into Developing and Developed teams, so beginners and more experienced players train at the right level. The youngest group gets a fun, game-based introduction focused on motor skills and coordination; older groups move on to tactics, positional play and a competitive mindset. Alongside group training, the academy offers private one-to-one sessions scheduled around the player's availability. It describes its coaches as certified professionals from a range of nationalities. At Al Quoz, sessions run Sunday to Friday from 6PM to 7PM (ask the Sharjah branch for its times), and a free trial session can be booked before signing up. On Google, the Al Quoz branch is rated 4.8 from 24 reviews and the Sharjah branch 4.6 from 67.
The activity
Football, explained
Football training teaches children ball control, passing, positioning and teamwork through drills and small-sided games, building up to proper matches as skills grow. Good academies group children by age and ability, so a five-year-old is learning to dribble and play with friends while a teenager works on tactics, fitness and a competitive mindset. Along the way kids build coordination, confidence and the habit of turning up for their team. At Grinta the youngest group is 4-7 years, and the sessions for that age are pitched as a fun first introduction to the game, with private one-to-one coaching also available for children who want focused technical work.
Who it's for
Children and teenagers aged 4-17, in four age groups (4-7, 8-10, 11-13 and 14-17), each split into Developing and Developed teams; the academy says its programmes cater to beginners and experienced players. One-to-one private sessions are also available.
What to expect
Start with a free trial session: the academy says coaches use it to assess your child's skills and give personalised feedback before you decide to join. For 4-7 year olds, sessions are a fun introduction to football using age-appropriate activities and drills to build basic motor skills and coordination; from 8-10 the focus moves to technical drills, tactical understanding and teamwork. At Al Quoz, sessions run Sunday to Friday, 6PM-7PM; ask the Sharjah branch for its times. Kit, what to bring and group sizes are not listed on the website - ask the provider.
