There are plenty of ways to keep the kids active

away from the summer heat. Here’s where to start

MUCH AS KIDS need a good run around and an

opportunity to let loose, it’s hard to get them

excited about a game of football in the park in

August. If you (and they) are keen to work up a

sweat, here’s where to head this season.

DUBAI

One of the most popular Àtness events on

the Dubai summer calendar, the 25,000 sq.

metre indoor air-conditioned venue at Dubai

Sports World (DSW) at Dubai World Trade

Centre offers a packed sporting schedule for

kids and adults of all ages plus summer camp

programmes featuring a mix of sports, Àtness

and activity classes. Housing more than 50

pitches and courts, this year DSW offers 20

sports and 14 academies to lead professional

summer camps until September 10.

A new addition to DSW this year courtesy

of multisport academy Just Play is an arena

called Just Action. Here, thrill-seekers

can challenge themselves with trapeze,

acrobatics, wall and rock climbing,

parkour, martial arts and combats,

plus the popular Ninja Warriors course,

back by huge demand.

Dubai’s AC Milan Academy makes its

debut at DSW this year alongside Ball Above

All, Just Cricket and Centerline representing

basketball, cricket and volleyball training.

These new entrants join DSW’s established

academies IFA Football Academy, Juventus

Academy Dubai and LaLiga Academy, as well

as badminton coaching with the Professional

Sports Academy (PSA) and Deepika

Badminton Academy, tennis lessons with

Tennis 360, cricket coaching with G-Force and

basketball training with Prestige Star Sport

Academy (PSSA) and MPAC. The venue also

offers cycling and Àtness studios powered by

Reebok and Les Mills, a padel court and a

large gym.
