Girls’ Football sessions – Designed to empower and inspire, our Girls’ Football Sessions provide a dedicated space for girls aged 7 – 15 to train, compete, and grow under expert coaching.
The KAUST Falcons Football Academy is proudly certified by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, following a European-inspired coaching philosophy.
Padel Youth Academy – Introducing children to the fastest-growing racket sport in the world, the youth academy trains players aged 8 – 16 in an energetic, skill-focused environment.
