MKJ Sports is a multi-venue kids' sports academy that coaches football for boys and girls aged 4 to 16, taking children "from ground root level to match squad" through grassroots, beginner, intermediate, advanced and match-squad levels. The academy says its multicultural team of qualified coaches plans each session around the ability of the individual child and the group, with age-appropriate small-sided games for younger children and regular practice matches, following an LTPD (Long Term Player Development) approach for ages 4-16. Rather than one home ground, groups train at partner venues: MKJ's posts for the 2026-27 football season name Warqa, Oud Mehta, Al Quoz (including Dewvale School) and Muweilah. Its website also offers individual roller skating training, inline and quad, for kids and adults from beginner to advanced. The website offers a free first class, and MKJ Sports is rated 4.8 on Google from 44 reviews.

The activity

Football, explained

Football training for kids builds ball control, teamwork and match awareness through structured drills and small-sided games, usually grouped by age and ability. Sessions typically run once or twice a week after school or at weekends, with coaches working on fundamentals like passing, dribbling and shooting before moving on to positions, tactics and match play. Many academies take complete beginners from around age 4 or 5 and keep them through to their mid-teens, with relaxed groups for newcomers alongside squads that play practice matches and tournaments for more experienced players.

Who it's for

Football: boys and girls aged 4-16, grouped by age (Under 5 to Under 16) and by level, from grassroots and beginner to intermediate, advanced and match squad. Roller skating: individual (one-to-one) training for kids and adults, inline and quads, beginner to advanced - it is not described as a kids' group class. Nothing is published on special needs provision - ask the provider.

What to expect

The website offers your child's first class free - book it by calling or WhatsApping +971 52 524 2812, or by emailing [email protected], and confirm the free trial when you book. Football groups are split by age band and level, and the academy says younger children play age-appropriate small-sided games and that practice matches are organised regularly. The timetable on the website dates from 2022-23, so ask for the current venue, day and time for your child's age group - the 2026-27 season posts name Warqa, Oud Mehta, Al Quoz and Muweilah. Kit, what to bring and fees are not published - ask the provider.
