McDonald’s UAE is calling on kids aged 8-12 to step onto the court, pitch, or field, with its all-new Junior Sports Academy launching this September. Building on the success of the McDonald’s UAE Junior Padel Academy, which has brought smiles and skills to over 1,000 kids across the UAE since 2023, the expanded Academy includes paddle, basketball, football, and cricket training sessions.
Designed to make sport fun and accessible for all families, the eight-week weekend programs are led by professional coaches at top facilities across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. All coaching, equipment, and kits are fully covered by McDonald’s UAE. Each program ends with an award ceremony, where participants are celebrated with certificates recognizing their effort and progress. Encouraging kids to try new activities, develop skills, and stay active, the Academy reflects McDonald’s UAE’s commitment to creating feel-good moments for families across the Emirates.
The McDonald’s UAE Junior Sports Academy kicks off with paddle, followed by basketball, football, and cricket:
• Paddle (27 September – 15 November 2025)
• Basketball (4 October – 22 November 2025)
