Real Madrid Football School — Juniors (4–9)

About this activity

As an officially licensed Real Madrid Foundation football school, this junior group runs the exact Infantil curriculum used across Real Madrid's own youth development system, adapted here for genuine beginners aged 4 to 9. The emphasis stays fun-first at this level — technique and teamwork woven into games rather than isolated drilling — but the underlying coaching framework is the same one used at the club's academy in Spain, not a loosely inspired local adaptation. Weekend morning sessions at Dubai Sports City; a free trial 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
