Lil Ballers
Lil Ballers offers fun and engaging one-on-one and group football training for children aged one and a half and above. Our sessions are designed to help kids develop their coordination, confidence, and love for the game in a positive and energetic setting. With age-appropriate activities and experienced coaches, we create a safe and supportive space where every child can learn, grow, and enjoy the excitement of football from their earliest steps.
Our Story
About us
Lil Ballers was founded with a clear purpose: to give children in Dubai a fun, meaningful introduction to football — and to the lifelong skills that sport can teach. Our founder, Suhaib Chand, has been actively involved in sports for over 25 years. His journey began as a young football enthusiast in the UK, where he played for several local teams and developed a deep love for the game. In 2022, Suhaib moved into coaching — bringing together his passion, experience, and a desire to make a difference in kids lives. He quickly made his mark. Starting with a new youth team, Suhaib coached them to the highest division in their age group. His thoughtful, development-focused approach has already helped four young players earn places at Premier League academies — a reflection of his commitment to both football and child development. Suhaib is a qualified coach that holds coaching badge from the FA and is actively progressing through the ranks to obtain his UEFA A License.
At Lil Ballers, his vision is brought to life through four age-specific classes — each one built around two guiding principles:
1. Play, not Push – We believe kids learn best through fun. Our sessions are pressure-free and full of energy, giving children the chance to enjoy football, express themselves, and build a positive relationship with sport from an early age.
2. Football as a Tool for Learning – Our programme is designed to support key early development milestones. From colour and number recognition to teamwork, imagination, and following instructions — football becomes a foundation for both movement and mind.
Though Lil Ballers is new to Dubai, it’s built on years of experience, passion, and a love for the game. This is just the beginning — and we can’t wait to help your little ballers play, learn, and grow with us.
Our Classes
Our classes and our approach
At Lil Ballers, we offer four exciting football classes, each specially designed for different age groups. But no matter the age or skill level, every session is built on two key beliefs that define who we are. First, we believe in “Play, not Push.” That means creating a fun, pressure-free environment where kids can enjoy the game. For us, it’s not just about football — it’s about giving children a joyful introduction to sports and movement, setting the foundation for a healthy, active lifestyle. Second, we see football as more than just a game — it’s a powerful learning tool. When coached with care, football helps boost early development. Through play, children can learn colours, numbers, how to follow instructions, and how to work as a team — all while having a blast. While we’re a new name in Dubai, our approach is built on experience, passion, and a commitment to constant improvement. We’re always learning, evolving, and shaping our sessions with the help of experts in child development, sports, and education.
