The activity

Multi-Sports, explained

Multi-sports programmes let children try more than one sport through a week or a year, rather than locking into a single game early. Here, the programmes on offer are basketball and badminton. Children work on the basics that carry across sports: running, jumping, catching, throwing, balance and reading where teammates are. Team sessions also build confidence, listening and turn-taking. Many Dubai academies group children by age bands such as under-10s and under-14s, so a younger child is not thrown in with teenagers. Ask each coach which age their group starts at.

Who it's for

At Al Salam Private School, basketball is listed for U10 and U14 groups on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with a separate girls-only session on Sundays, and no age band is published for badminton. At Bright Riders School, football, swimming, basketball, volleyball and martial arts are each listed for ages 5 to 15. Levels and support for children with additional needs are not published: ask the provider.

What to expect

You register for a programme online through its YalaSports booking page; ask the provider about payment options. Sessions take place on the school campus you pick, not at the YalaSports office on Sheikh Zayed Road. At Al Salam Private School, basketball runs 6:30pm to 8:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the girls-only session 5:00pm to 6:00pm on Sundays, and badminton 7:30pm to 9:00pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. At Bright Riders School, each programme is listed for Friday and Sunday, 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Confirm current times with YalaSports. The basketball academy describes structured skills work, an emphasis on participation and fun, and matches against other academies and local teams. A trial session, kit list and what to bring are not published: ask the provider before the first session.
