For the first time budding young footballers will now be able to learn the City way, for free, in Dubai thanks to City Football School’s coaching sessions taking place this spring.

The sessions which are aimed at children aged 5 – 16 years old, will take place across two different venues; Hartland School, Nad Al Sheba and Sunmarke School, JVT from 26 March – 3 April 2018.

Simon Hewitt City Football School’s Head of Football Operations said: “It’s great to be able to offer free coaching sessions to children based in Dubai as there’s a lot of talent throughout the Emirate.

“The coaching sessions we are offering are built upon the philosophy and training program of the Manchester City Academy which offers young players, the opportunity to improve their football skills, make friends, stay healthy and have lots of fun under the guidance of fully qualified City Football coaches.”

 “The sessions are free and open to both boys and girls aged 5 -16 years, however places are limited so I would encourage anyone wanting to register to do so quickly!”

Sessions will commence at Hartland School, Nad Al Sheba from Monday 26 until Thursday 29 March before moving to Sunmarke School, JVT on Friday 30 and Saturday 31.
