Young Guns Tennis (8–16 yrs)

About this activity

For 8 to 16 year-olds, coaching moves into genuine technical and tactical development — forehand, backhand, serve, volleys, and match play — led by staff holding ITF Level 2 and USPTA certifications, the two most recognised coaching qualifications in the sport internationally. The Habtoor Grand Resort's marina-front courts give a genuinely nice environment to train in compared to a standard sports club setting. 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
