Moving forward children from these schools will have the opportunity to join classes at their local golf club and continue their journey, making friends for life and having tons of fun along the way.

Together with the Emirates Schools Establishment, Emirates PGA, UAE golf clubs and The R&A, the Future Falcons - NJDP will continue to introduce golf into the schooling system across the UAE.
