Ten sports. One academy.

Most kids don't know their sport yet — here they get to find it without changing academies. Tap any sport to ask about it.

The ages we coach

One roof, ten doors

A child who tries football in September can be on the karate mat by November — same academy, same coaches watching their progress, no new registration circus.

Coaches who lived it

FIBA and CAF licences, national-team careers, decades on court. Your kid learns from people who competed, not weekend volunteers with a whistle.

A school, not a warehouse

Classes run inside Durham School in Al Messila — proper indoor facilities, safe drop-off, easy parking.

Open when you need us

Every day of the week. From 4:00 PM till midnight on school days, from 7:00 AM on weekends.

It depends on the sport. Twelve sessions a month is QAR 400 for badminton, 450 for roller skating, 550 for football and 650 for basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and karate. Eight sessions a month is 100 less in each case. Swimming is priced on request. Every figure is on the sports page.

From 4 to 16 years old. Groups are split by age and level, so a beginner never trains next to a competitive teen.
