    The family fun-day out is absolutely free to all, allowing parents and children to participate in competitions such as the Speed Gun – how fast can you bowl challenge – the Crazy Catch and Batting Zone.

    Guests will also be exposed to food and beverage outlets, community retail outlets and displays from Victory Heights Primary School and Bradenton Preparatory Academy.

    The prestigious Els Club will also be highlighting its offering for the next generation of golfers with the internationally renowned Butch Harmon School of Golf presenting children with the chance to get involved.

    Dubai Sports City General Manager – Sports Business, Maqbul Dudhia, said: “Yet again we are delighted to be hosting the Dubai Sports City – Season Launch event at the ICC Academy which allows us to showcase the range of fantastic world-class facilities we have on offer here in Dubai Sports City.

    “However, our free family-friendly season launch event not only allows participants to try out more sports and activities than ever before, but allows us to demonstrate and emphasise the importance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle, which we believe is a way of life.

    “As we know from previous events, the season launch event allows all of our retailers, sports and entertainment venues to demonstrate what they have to offer but it also brings the whole community together. We look forward to welcoming everyone on September 3.”

    Held in the fully air-conditioned indoor ICC Academy, coaches from the academy and Spanish Soccer School will make appearances alongside golfing maestros from the Els Club and Butch Harmon School of Golf.

    Coaches will be available throughout the day to interact with the children and provide insights and enough information on their favourite sport, before opting their most suited sport. Children who then sign up for an academy with said choice in mind are eligible to receive special discounts and prizes for their registration on the day.

    Casting aside introductory “demo” sessions on offer, the new season launch will also take children and parents around the outstanding within the Sports Village campus. These include the likes of tennis, basketball, netball, rugby union, Australian Rules Football, and American football alongside well-established football, golf and cricket facilities.
