MAX Sports Academy · Abu Dhabi
Your future in the game starts here.
Small groups. A coach who learns your child's name on day one. A real path from their first session all the way to adult cricket — built so every player gets a little better, and a lot happier.
Free first session · no commitment · we reply the same day
The MAX Pathway
You move up. You don't age out.
Most academies hand you back the moment your child gets older. We built the opposite — one ladder your child climbs from their very first session, with a place waiting at every age. The same coaches. The same standard. For as long as they want to play.
U10
First Love
Where it starts. Catching, running, swinging — falling for the game in a place that feels safe and fun.
U14
Real Skills
Proper technique with bat and ball. Small groups so nobody hides at the back. This is where good habits are set for life.
U17
The Push
School and club selection in sight. Match play, video, and a coach who tells the truth so your teen actually improves.
18+ & 35+
For Life
Adult nets, weekend cricket and our seniors group. The same game, the same family — you never have to leave.
Coached by the real thing
Coach Zaheer knows your child by name.
Zaheer is a former UAE international coach — but ask any parent here and they'll tell you he's far more than a bowler. He coaches batting, bowling and fielding, and he has turned shy beginners into genuine quick bowlers. He notices the child who's having a hard day. He remembers who's working on their cover drive.
“Every player has a weapon. My job is to find it.”Read Zaheer's story
In his words
“I don't coach kids to win Saturday. I coach them to last.”
That's the whole idea. Not a trophy this weekend — a player, and a person, who's still standing tall years from now.
How we coach
Four things every session is built on.
No drills for the sake of looking busy. Everything we do points at one of these four.
01
Technique
Clean, repeatable basics with bat and ball — the foundation everything else is built on.
02
Game Sense
Reading the match, making decisions, knowing what to do when the pressure is on.
03
Character
Discipline, respect and how to lose well — the part that lasts long after the last over.
04
Belonging
A place your child is glad to walk into. Coached by name, in a small group, never lost in a crowd.
Player spotlight
Real kids. Real progress.
A few of our players, caught mid-session. Updated regularly — so come back and you might just see your own.
U14 Squad
Finding his line
Started shy at the back of the net. Now he opens the bowling.
U15 Squad
Owns the crease
Worked his cover drive every week. It shows.
U13 Squad
Quiet competitor
Doesn't say much. Lets the bat do the talking.
In the Nets
Match-day ready
The reps no one sees, on the days no one's watching.
From our families
The voices that matter.
“My son comes home tired, happy, and talking about cricket all evening. Coach Zaheer actually knows him — that's the difference. It's not a babysitting service, it's coaching.”
Asif R. · Parent · U12 player
“I wanted someone who'd take me seriously, not just throw balls. Zaheer found two things wrong with my action in one session — and gave me a plan to fix them. I made the school team this year.”
Hamza K. · Player · age 15
“We tried two other academies first. Here, the groups are small and the coach remembers my daughter every week. She begs to go. That tells me everything.”
Sana M. · Parent · U10 player
