The 'Amanosan Country Club', a golf course operated by Daiwa Kaihatsu Kanko Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 906-2 Amanocho, Kawachinagano City, Osaka, CEO: Hiroaki Iyama), will participate in the 'Junior High School Regional Club' promoted by Kawachinagano City, Osaka, fully launching in April 2026.
This initiative has evolved from a one-time opportunity into a continuous regional club activity, following a trial implementation in 2025. Targeting seven junior high schools in the city, the goal is to implement a new extracurricular activity model supported by the local community.
## Background of the 'Junior High School Regional Club'
Amid an aging population with a declining birthrate, creating connections with the younger generation is a challenge in the sports industry. Meanwhile, schools are demanding a reduction in teachers' burdens and sustainable extracurricular activities, prompting a search for new club activities in cooperation with local communities. Against this backdrop, Kawachinagano City in Osaka Prefecture has been working to establish 'Junior High School Regional Clubs' that operate outside of schools, holding trial sessions in August 2025. Now, moving past the verification phase, it will transition into full-scale operation.
## About the Full Launch from April
Based on the 2025 trial experience, this initiative will begin full operation as a continuous activity rather than just a one-off opportunity. The six-month, 12-session program is structured into four phases, with achievement goals set for each session. While learning basic techniques step-by-step, participants will ultimately move toward practical experience by playing three holes on a short course.
Furthermore, by making the content enjoyable through sports rather than solely focusing on acquiring skills or reaching goals, the program allows students to engage proactively even in basic training.
## Event Overview
- Name: 'Junior High School Regional Club'
- Date/Time: Saturday, April 18 and Saturday, April 25, 2026, 9:40-11:00 AM
*From May onward, it is planned to be held about twice a month on Saturdays.
The exact time and venue (our company or a city school) are currently being adjusted.
- Location: Amanosan Public Golf Course (906-2 Amanocho, Kawachinagano City, Osaka)
- Content: Safety and rule explanation using SNAG golf, tee shot experience with a driver
- Target: 1st and 2nd-year junior high school students residing or attending school in Kawachinagano City, targeting about 10 participants.
