Sportsify Pickleball Academy DXB (S.P.A.D) runs its junior academy from Palm Jumeirah, open 8am to 11pm daily, with certified coaches taking young players from first paddle contact through to competitive doubles play. Sessions are grouped by skill level rather than just age, so a fast-progressing beginner isn't held back and a newer player isn't overwhelmed, with equipment available on site via the academy's own Kryptonite Paddles range for families who haven't bought a paddle yet. Graduates feed into the academy's junior league play and travelling pickleball trips. Weekend morning sessions.
This session runs 60 minutes, for ages 7–16. 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. Sportsify Pickleball Academy DXB offers a free trial session before you commit.
Parent tip
Ask about the coach-to-student ratio before enrolling. For children under 8, groups larger than 8–10 per coach typically mean less individual feedback. A good academy will be transparent about this.
