Dubai’s beachside is about to get a lot more energetic starting 23 July when Beach Sports Week kicks off days of high-adrenaline fun. Hosted by Dubai Sports Council, Kite Beach will set the stage for four kinds of sporting competitions, starting with the Elite Men’s Beach Volleyball Tournament.
This three-day competition will see 16 teams of two players each go head-to-head over a quintessential summer sport, organized in cooperation with Elite Volleyball Academy. Open to Dubai’s athletic residents, anyone can sign up via WhatsApp on +971 56 811 1876.
Female players have a chance to shine too during The Esperia Beach Volleyball Tournament. Sign up to get involved to cheer the players on from the sidelines when they compete in three categories: 2×2 Female, 2×2 Mix and 4×4 Mix.
Take a swing at the ball during the Beach Tennis contest on Friday and Saturday, organized by Super Sports Beach Tennis Academy. This exciting adaptation of traditional lawn tennis keeps most of the rules and scoring systems of the sport but requires that players don’t let the ball hit the ground. Get ready for lots of volleys and smashes during a fast-paced and intense match that would keep anyone on their toes.
Racquets will keep swinging during the AirBadminton tournament, organized in cooperation with the UAE Badminton Federation. In this outdoor take on the sport, players will use a special ‘AirShuttle’ which can be used in winds up to 12km per hour, perfect for the beach setting.
