Football schools and academies of Kazakhstan: a complete breakdown by city
Children's football in Kazakhstan is concentrated primarily in the two largest cities — Almaty and Astana, where dozens of schools and academies operate: from large club academies to neighborhood sections. The Conectico catalog includes more than 80 football schools in Kazakhstan with addresses, and below we'll break down how to choose the right one by city, age, and goal.
Short answer: choose a school by city and district, start with a free trial session and an age-appropriate group. Below is a breakdown of the two main cities with links to detailed guides, and the full list is conveniently available in the catalog of academies.
Football schools of Almaty
In Almaty, most sections are in the Bostandyk district (Al-Farabi Avenue, Abish Kekilbayuly Street) and along Abay Avenue. Among the schools in the catalog are Almaty Football Academy, Champik football for kids, Derby Football Academy and others.
A detailed breakdown by district with a table of schools and addresses is in a separate guide: football schools of Almaty: where to send your child.
Football schools of Astana
In Astana, there are many sections on the left bank (Esil district — Turan Avenue, Uly Dala Avenue) and along Abay Avenue. In the catalog, for example, Astana Junior, Astana Jas and El Clasico.
The full breakdown by district is in the guide: football schools of Astana: where to send your child.
How to choose a football school
Start with the district and the commute: training sessions take place two to three times a week, and if the one-way trip takes longer than 30-40 minutes, it quickly wears the child out. Next, look at the coach and the group size — a good children's coach works with 12-15 kids, knows each one and explains things, rather than just running them in circles. For Kazakhstan, an indoor arena is especially important: training outdoors in winter is hard, so check where the school trains during the cold season.
From what age and what is needed
Most schools accept children from about 4-6 years old into play groups and from 7-9 years old into the main ones. The exact minimum age varies by school — check on the page of the specific section. For the first training session, sports clothes, boots or sneakers, and water are usually enough. Current tryouts and open sessions are gathered in the open trials section.
