  • Give it a try: ISIA certified coaches will teach kids how to enjoy skating.

    Children will be spoilt for options during the Christmas break at Zayed Sports City as the popular Abu Dhabi venue prepares to host three camps this month. The Kids Holiday and Ice Skating programmes return for another edition, while the Tennis Academy camp is a new addition to a packed schedule.

    Running from December 18 to 22 and January 2 to 5, there’s still time to register and see why it’s highly rated in the capital.

    From 08:30 to 17:30, children (aged 5-12) can look forward to a fun-filled day of activities including ice-skating, bowling, tennis, football and arts and crafts at the Kids Holiday Camp.

    For youngsters who want to try out ice-skating, they can do so under the guidance of certified Ice Skating Institute of Asia coaches who will be overseeing the sessions (from 09:00 to 13:00) and giving an insight into their successful Learn to Skate programme.

    Tennis enthusiasts between the age of 7 and 18 can develop their game at the tennis camp. From 09:00 to 13:00, highly-qualified coaches will teach the nuances of the game while also taking testing them on court in matches, all of which are delivered at a world-class facility.

    On top of that, there will also be a chance to meet some Davis Cup players, who will be practicing on court later this month.

    Just perfect: The camps provide a fun and safe environment for kids.

    ZSC have a rich history of hosting successful camps and this month’s will be no different.

    “Both the ZSC Kids Holiday and ZSC Academy Ice Skating camps have been incredibly popular in the past,” said ZSC’s general manager Barry Bremner. “We’ve been running these for several years, and we receive lots of new referrals and returning campers. This is a great indicator about the quality of the service that we provide.”

    He added: “With the launch of ZSC Academy earlier this year, we are now providing high-quality tennis coaching directly to clients. The camp is an extension of this. It’s designed for players with experience, at an intermediate or advanced level, and it aims to make them better in high-performance situations.”

    Prices vary according to the camp with one and two-week options available. Bremner insists the camps tick all the boxes that parents are looking for.

    “Parents love our camps for many reasons – the top one being because the kids love them,” he said. “They offer a way for children to stay active, which is an important part of their overall health, and make sure they are having fun at the same time. With three camps on offer, and great value with each, there is something that fits every family.”
