Aegis Academy Football

Aegis is a high-performance football academy based at MLC Schools in Westlands, coaching boys and girls from age 3 through 17 on a structured development pathway rather than one-off drop-in sessions. Alongside regular term-time training, it runs holiday camps each school break that mix football skills with other activities. It's one of several football academies around Nairobi — worth comparing against others near you before committing to a term.

How to join

1. 1Check aegis-sport.com for the current age-group timetable. They coach boys and girls from 3 through 17 at MLC Schools, Grevillea Grove, Westlands.
2. 2Sign up by term or season. This is a development pathway, not a one-off drop-in kickabout.
3. 3If it is a school holiday, look at their holiday camps — those mix football skills with other activities and are a separate registration from term training.
4. 4Before you commit a whole term, compare pitch location and days against other Nairobi academies closer to home.
5. 5First session: boots, shin pads, water, and whatever kit colour they specify. Drop off at MLC Schools; stay for the first session if they are new.
6. 6Ask at sign-up how they group by age so a five-year-old is not on the same pitch plan as a teenager.

Parent questions

Can we try one Saturday without joining?

Sign-up is by term or season. Check the current age-group schedule and ask them about a trial before you drive to Westlands expecting a drop-in.

Do they run in the holidays?

Yes. Holiday camps each school break are a separate booking from weekly term training.

Hours, tickets and activity rules change. Confirm the current details on the official site or at the gate before you travel.
