The Manchester United Soccer Schools in Abu Dhabi has proved a massive hit with thousands of children, and now the school’s coaches are taking it one step further with special sessions for the childrens’ parents – a first in the UAE

A brand new five-week course has just kicked off at the Dome@Rawdhat on Airport Road after overwhelming feedback from parents who wanted to become more involved in the sessions and be put through their paces by the accredited MUSS coaches.

“So many parents told us they wanted the opportunity to get actively involved on a more regular basis so we have developed this unique programme just for them,” said Andy Dixon, head coach at MUSS. “The new programme gives parents a greater insight into the MUSS philosophy of promoting active, healthy lifestyles and brings the growing Manchester United family in the UAE even closer together.”

Taking place every Tuesday at the Dome@Rawdhat, the next MUSS parent programme starts on 22nd May and is offered exclusively to parents with children currently registered on the MUSS programme.

All parents who sign up have the opportunity to take part in the MUSS skills challenge competition, just like their children, as well as the chance to win signed Manchester United merchandise. One parent will also win a free place for their child on the upcoming MUSS summer course, which starts on 24th June offering four-day intensive courses for four consecutive weeks at the indoor air-conditioned pitches.
