Al Ain Juniors School

Dear Students and Parents,

Greetings from Al Ain Juniors School. At Al Ain Juniors School, we are committed to providing our students with opportunities to develop as healthy, confident, disciplined, and well-rounded individuals through a balanced combination of academic education, sports, and physical activities.

In today’s digital age, children are spending an increasing amount of time on mobile phones, social media, gaming, and other screen-based activities. It is therefore more important than ever to encourage our children to step away from screens, become physically active, participate in sports, and develop healthy and active lifestyles.

Sports play an important role in a child’s overall development. Regular participation in sports helps students develop fitness, discipline, teamwork, leadership, confidence, resilience, time management, and a positive competitive spirit. It also provides students with opportunities to discover their talents and develop healthy habits that can benefit them throughout their lives.

The importance our schools place on sports is reflected in the outstanding achievements of our students, who continue to participate successfully and win medals in ADEK competitions and various tournaments held in Al Ain and across the UAE.

 

We are pleased to announce that the AJ Club Activities for the Academic Year 2026–2027 will commence from 9 September 2026.

The AJ Club will initially offer the following four sports:
• Football
• Basketball
• Volleyball
• Swimming

For a detailed explanation of the four sports, including the program structure, age groups, schedules, and other relevant information, please refer to the attached AJ Club Circular.

Following our “Catch Them Young” approach, the program will focus on introducing and developing sporting skills from an early age, particularly among students from Grades 1 to 6, while opportunities will also be extended to students up to Grade 8 in selected activities.

Expanding Opportunities in Sports
Over the years, the AJ Club has provided students with opportunities to participate in a variety of sports, including Karate, Ice Skating, Badminton, and other activities.

As part of our continued commitment to expanding sporting opportunities and providing students with greater choice, we are planning to introduce additional activities, including:
• Pickleball
• Badminton
• Table Tennis

These activities will be introduced progressively as soon as the necessary arrangements are completed.

Building a Strong Sports Culture
Our vision is to build a strong and sustainable sports culture across AJI, AJB, and EIS, where every student has the opportunity to participate, discover their sporting interests, develop their abilities, and reach their full potential.

We believe that sports are not only about competition and winning medals. They are also about developing character, building confidence, learning teamwork, accepting challenges, developing discipline, and creating healthy habits for life.

We strongly encourage all students to take advantage of the AJ Club program and play sports and physical activity an important part of their daily lives.

Let us encourage our children to put down their screens, get active, play, learn, compete, and grow through sport.

We wish all our students the very best for the AJ Club Activities 2026–2027 and look forward to another successful year filled with participation, development, enjoyment, teamwork, and sporting achievements.
