Activities for girls in Doha?

Emerson
By Emerson

Newbie here--I am considering a position at Education City in Doha.  I am not new to the Middle East (6 years in Beirut), but I would be new to the Gulf.  We have a daughter who is almost 4, and who is engaged in tumbling/gymnastics and other activities.  When she is older, we want to get her involved in gymnastics and other activities such as soccer/football, tennis, etc.  Are such activities for girls readily available for girls in Doha?  Are there places where she can take gymnastics lessons, take tennis lessons and play tennis, join a soccer team, etc?  I am very ignorant about the availability of athletic and other sorts of activities for girls in Doha.

There are all conditions for physical activities in Qatar Foundation where you are going to work. You shouldn't worry about opportunity to swim or gymnastics lessons for your daughter (and some others). Of course she will be trained not for national team level but at least she will feel secure in the water for sure.

gym academy in Doha with mrs innes are very popular. You can call Doha English Speaking School for her contact number

 

evolution soccer in Doha College ... not exclusively for girls ... Their coachs are quite good and well qualified.

 

my son goes to Tae Kwon Do class for nearly 2 years now ... his tae kwon training centre ran my proper Korean master that used to coach Qatar national team.

 

aspire also have a gymclub for children, long waiting list but worth to try.
