What is Doha Juniors Soccer Club

We are a non-profit organization that wants to provide an opportunity for all children in Doha to play soccer. We practice each Friday morning at Qatar Foundation on the soccer fields located behind VCU. We accept children of all ages and abilities and provide them with the chance to improve their skills. The coaches are all volunteers and are there to assist the children, but are not trained professionals. We charge a small fee of 300QR for the season and with that you receive your own soccer ball, a training outfit and the practice sessions.

I am not a trained professional but I do have an interest in allowing my children the opportunity to play soccer with other kids. I am a teacher at QLA and assisted with the implementation and program carried out last year by the soccer club. The fonding member had to leave Doha and I have now taken the initiative to run the club this year.

The expectation is that the club can help your kids to improve their skills but mainly to get out and have some fun with other children of the same age. This is not a competitive league, but if the opportunity is presented there may be games played against other teams. As the club grows I hope to see more opportunities for travel and competition.

Looking for ward to new season.
