Question 1

What ages does TFA coach?

Accepted Answer

We coach boys and girls from ages 3 to 16, with programmes designed around each child’s age and stage of development: Elite Boots – Ages 3–5 years old; Boys Football Academy – Ages 6–16 years old; Girls Football Academy – Ages 6–16 years old. Our team can also help you find the most suitable programme for your child based on their age and football experience.

Question 2

Where in Dubai is TFA based?

Accepted Answer

Our main football academy location is based at Greenfield International School in Dubai Investments Park (DIP). We also train young football players across Dubai, with sessions available at locations including Meydan, Jumeirah Park, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Town Square and Dubai South.

Question 3

Is the first session really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every new player gets a free trial session so you and your child can experience TFA before committing. Book it here.

Question 4

My child has never played before — is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our players start with no previous football experience, and our coaches help beginners build confidence from their very first session. For players who would benefit from more focused attention, we also offer TechLab, our small-group football development programme. TechLab gives players more time to work on key football fundamentals such as ball control, dribbling, passing, first touch and coordination — areas that can be harder to focus on in a larger group session. It provides a more focused training environment where players can develop their technique, confidence and understanding of the game at their own pace.

Question 5

Do you have a programme for girls?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Girls Football Academy in Dubai, TFA Bells, is a dedicated girls football programme for ages 5–13. Players train with UEFA-licensed coaches who provide age-appropriate guidance to help them develop their football skills, confidence, game understanding and teamwork. The programme also includes structured training and match play in a supportive environment designed specifically for girls.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Fees vary depending on age and programme. As a guide, Elite Boots starts from AED 500 per month, with higher development and academy programmes priced by stage. Sibling discounts and registration fees apply.

Question 7

How do I book a free trial?

Accepted Answer

The quickest way is our free trial form, or a WhatsApp message to +971 58 676 8956. Tell us your child’s age and we’ll confirm the best session for them.

Question 8

What should my child bring to a session?

Accepted Answer

We’ll confirm everything when you book your trial.

Question 9

What makes TFA different from branded academies?

Accepted Answer

We’re an independent, founder-led Dubai academy — not a logo flown in from Europe. That means small groups, real individual attention, a genuine pathway from age 3 to 16, and coaches chosen to teach and care first. See how to choose a football academy in Dubai for what to look for.

Question 10

Why is TFA considered one of the best football academies in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

TFA combines UEFA-qualified coaches, structured player development, competitive match experience, and football training for kids in Dubai across multiple locations. Our programmes help beginners and experienced players continue improving every season.
