The summer holidays are over and if you’re a parent looking for a place that offers top quality coaching and sporting activities for your children, then Active Sports Academy (ASA) has a range of programmes on offer.
The first term is already underway but there’s still an opportunity to sign up for a wide variety of sports and activities including football, tennis, basketball, gymnastics and cheerleading.
Among the venues are Regent International School, Deira International School and Sheffield Private School, with further locations spread across Dubai to ensure more accessibility to parents and children.
The classes will be held under the guidance of qualified staff, with the emphasis on learning, having fun and the importance of having a healthy lifestyle.
Carole Worrall, responsible for marketing at ASA, said: “The new season marks the start of our new coaching year. With the summer vacations now over, we want to encourage children to get off the sofa and ‘Get Active’ again.
“With the new school term now underway, this is the perfect time to start the new academic year with a fresh approach to learning and to exercise, because after all, exercise is beneficial on so many levels.
“For example, it can improve social skills, sleep and study patterns, better co-ordination as well as strength – there are so many positives from exercising.”
ASA programmes have proved to be a huge success – hundreds of children attended the recently-concluded holiday camp.
And this term will be no different in what will be an exciting season ahead.
“We aim to give a good rounded selection of mainstream sports and activities for all ages and abilities,” said Worrall. “For example, the ‘WaterBabies’ sessions gives an introduction to swimming to children aged four months and above, while ‘Swim Development’ is open to children of all ages.
Additionally, there are the ‘Performance Swim Squads’, basketball, football, tennis coaching (aged 3+), and cheerleading for ages eight and above.”
And with many academies in the UAE to choose from, ASA is a great choice for parents, according to Worrall.
“The academy is going from strength to strength and we have welcomed some fabulous new staff over the summer,” she said.
“Our coaches and our support staff are all highly qualified and above all we share a common interest in promoting exercise in the community. The public entrust us with their children, all of whom are their own individual characters. There is so much more to it than just sport.”
