Football schools and academies in Taraz 2026: where to send your child

In Taraz, children's football is mostly private. Of the 11 addresses in the Conectico catalog for the city, 5 are children's football clubs (the Hat-Trick network with four pitches and Zhas Taraz), with one address each for the Daryn football akademiasy section, the Tulpar football sports school, the Ulan football school and the Shakh club. Two entries are sports departments: regional specialized sports schools No. 5 and No. 8 under the department of physical culture and sports, where parents apply for state-funded sections. The choice depends on the district, the child's age and whether the child needs football for fun or for results.

Short answer: for a child aged 5-7, look for a children's club near home with a trial session and small groups. For an older child who wants to play for results, it makes sense to ask about enrollment at the regional sports school. The full list with contacts is on the page football schools in Taraz.

How to choose a football school in Taraz

The first thing is the journey. Training takes place two or three times a week, and if the trip takes more than half an hour, in a couple of months the child will start skipping. The Hat-Trick network has four addresses in different parts of the city (Tole bi Avenue, Shostakovich, Sanyrak batyr and Tauke khan streets), so first check which pitch is closest. At the address on 25e Tauke khan Street, the catalog lists two clubs at once, Hat-Trick and Zhas Taraz: it is convenient to go to a trial at both and compare.

The second thing is the coach and the group. 12-15 children per coach is normal, more than that is already a queue for the ball. Come to the first session as a spectator and see whether the coach explains the exercises, how he reacts to mistakes and how much time the children actually spend moving with the ball.

The third thing is the conditions in season. Taraz has hot summers, so find out what time summer training sessions take place and whether there is shade and water at the pitch, and for winter, check whether the school moves indoors or takes a break.

What to look at in the first session

Almost all clubs offer a trial session. For a child aged 5-8 the criterion is one: whether he liked it or not, whether he wants to come back. Do not try to assess technique in the first session, at this age it is not yet an indicator. Look at engagement and at how the coach talks to the children.

Private clubs and sports departments: what is the difference

Private clubs and schools (Hat-Trick, Zhas Taraz, Daryn, Tulpar, Ulan, Shakh) work on a subscription basis, top up groups throughout the year and are more willing to take young children. Sports departments, that is regional specialized sports schools No. 5 and No. 8, are the state system: training groups, enrollment for a year, participation in regional competitions. School No. 8 is located in Bayzak district, outside the city limits, and is closer for residents of the district than for the center of Taraz. Ask about the football department, enrollment age and deadlines directly using the contacts on the school's page.

From what age and what is needed for enrollment

The minimum age is not specified in the catalog, each school has its own: check when you first call. For a trial session, sports uniform, footwear suited to the surface and water are enough. For enrollment in a regional sports school, a birth certificate and a medical certificate are usually requested, private clubs may ask for the same when arranging a subscription.

Enrollment sessions and tryouts that schools publish themselves are collected in the section open tryouts. For information on when enrollment sessions take place and how enrollment works in 2026, read the article Admission to football academies in Taraz 2026.
