The Junior Asian Golf Academy (JAGA-UAE) has officially launched a new boarding school and elite golf training academy in Al Ain, in partnership with the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF). The new facility, located at the Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting and Golf Club, is designed to provide tailor-made programs to help young golfers reach the next level. This initiative aims to establish Al Ain as a premier hub for elite golf training and education in the region.
The JAGA-Way and Key Features
JAGA-UAE’s new academy will use the JAGA-Way Belt Progression system, an objective and consistent method for player development inspired by the philosophy of Japanese Judo. This system uses a colored belt to signify a golfer’s progress and expertise. The facility offers students exclusive access to a wide range of amenities, including a championship golf course with floodlights for evening training, a driving range, and a short game area. JAGA will also host over 25 World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) events across five countries. The new school is a follow-up to the successful original JAGA academy in Hua Hin, Thailand.
Program Details
JAGA-UAE offers various packages, from daily assessments to full-year training programs, which include:
- Accommodation and transportation
- Meals
- Access to state-of-the-art training facilities
- Guidance on securing a college golf scholarship
- A JAGA-Way Belt Test Certificate
The academy welcomes both expatriates and national residents and will also collaborate with national teams and other federations to enhance the competitive landscape for amateur golfers.
