Konkel Academy play together win together

Building Confidence, Skills & Character Through Sport

Konkel-Spirit Basketball Academy is a Dubai-based youth sports academy focused on helping children grow through basketball.

We work with boys and girls of all abilities, creating a positive and supportive environment where children can develop confidence, discipline, teamwork, and life skills—both on and off the court.

Our sessions are designed to be fun, structured, and engaging, while still teaching the fundamentals of basketball in a way that children understand and enjoy.

Our Philosophy

At Konkel-Spirit, we believe sport is about more than just winning games. Basketball is a powerful tool for teaching children how to:

Believe in themselves
Communicate with others
Work as part of a team
Handle challenges positively
Develop focus and discipline

Every child is encouraged, supported, and respected. We focus on progress, effort, and confidence—not pressure.

What We Offer

Group Training Sessions

Our group sessions focus on:

  • Ball handling & dribbling
  • Passing & movement
  • Shooting fundamentals
  • Team play & game awareness

Children learn how to play together, support one another, and build friendships while improving their basketball skills.

One-to-One Coaching

For children who want extra support or faster development, we offer private one-to-one sessions. These are ideal for:

  • Building confidence
  • Improving specific skills
  • Personal development at the child’s own pace

Each session is tailored to the individual child.

Team Games & Match Play

We regularly include small-sided games and match scenarios to help children:

  • Apply what they’ve learned
  • Improve decision-making
  • Build confidence in real game situations

Games are structured, positive, and age-appropriate.

Who We Work With

We welcome children of all abilities, whether they are:

  • New to basketball
  • Playing for fun
  • Looking to improve their skills
  • Wanting a supportive after-school activity

Our academy is proud to reflect Dubai’s diverse community and welcomes families from all backgrounds.

Locations We Serve

We run sessions in and around:

  • Dubai Hills
  • Arabian Ranches
  • Surrounding neighbouring communities

All sessions take place in safe, outdoor community courts in a friendly and familiar environment.
