The activity
Football, explained
Football coaching for kids builds ball control, passing, movement and teamwork through drills and small-sided games, usually with a warm-up, technical stations and a short match. Grassroots sessions focus on fun and fundamentals such as first touch, dribbling and simple positional play, while more advanced squads add tactics, fitness and match experience. Many clubs start children from around age 4 or 5 in mini-kickers groups, then move them into age-grouped squads (U8, U10, U12 and so on) through primary and secondary school. Older players often train more often and play regular league matches, and some academies offer separate goalkeeper coaching.
Who it's for
Young footballers. The academy's posts show junior squads in training and in DOFA youth matches, plus goalkeeper sessions for young keepers. In 2025 its website said it takes players from 6 to 18 years old; current Dubai age groups aren't published, so ask which ages train at Al Nahda 2 now.
What to expect
Yoshi trains young players in squads that have played matches in the Dubai Open Football Academies tournament (DOFA), and it has run dedicated goalkeeper sessions, which it promoted in May 2025. What a first session looks like, whether there is a trial, what kit to bring, group sizes and Dubai session times aren't published, so ask when you get in touch. The academy's Instagram bio says to send it a message to join (@yoshi.ae); you can also call +971 52 517 1104 or email [email protected].
