Ascend Esports' top competitive tier at its Mirdif hub, for teens who've built fundamentals and want genuine team-based competitive training — shotcalling, role specialisation, and reviewed match footage across battle royale and MOBA titles, run with the same wellness-first structure (breaks, posture, communication norms) that defines the academy's approach at every level. Squads compete against other academy and school teams rather than training in isolation, giving the programme a real competitive outlet beyond ranked solo queue. A legitimate structured alternative to unsupervised competitive gaming for serious teen players. Evening sessions.
This session runs 90 minutes, for ages 13–16. Sessions follow a project-based learning approach where children build towards a tangible outcome — a working game, a robot, a completed project. These programmes develop logical thinking, problem-solving, and persistence with complex challenges. Most providers group children by age and prior experience rather than a fixed level system. Ascend Esports offers a free trial session before you commit.
Parent tip
The best coding and STEM programmes make children feel like creators, not consumers of technology. If your child already spends a lot of time on screens, a robotics programme that involves physical construction alongside programming may be more engaging than pure screen-based coding.
