Mini Minors Tennis (4–7 yrs)

About this activity

Dubai Tennis Academy's youngest group uses mini courts, foam balls, and scaled-down equipment specifically sized for 4 to 7 year-olds, keeping the emphasis on fun and coordination rather than technically correct strokes this early. Set at the Habtoor Grand Resort in Dubai Marina, the setting itself — right on the marina — makes the weekend morning sessions feel more like an outing than a lesson, which helps with younger children who might otherwise resist a formal class. No prior experience needed; a free trial session is available.

What to expect from sports classes

Sports sessions in the UAE typically last 45–90 minutes and are grouped by age and ability. Expect a warm-up phase, skill-based drills, and a game or activity at the end. Indoor facilities with air conditioning are standard across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, ensuring year-round training regardless of summer temperatures. Most academies follow internationally recognised coaching frameworks and provide all equipment — you just need to bring water, comfortable clothing, and appropriate footwear.

What to look for when choosing a provider

• Qualified coaches with recognised certifications (UEFA, ASA, national federation equivalent)
• Age-appropriate grouping — children should train with peers at a similar developmental stage
• Small group sizes for meaningful individual attention and development
• Indoor or shaded facilities for summer training continuity
• A development-first philosophy where improvement matters more than winning
