We will be holding tryouts for the "2023 Kashima Antlers School Select U-12" for new 6th graders.

At the "NIKE ANTLERS CUP U-12" held annually in September, the School Select team participates among strong teams from all over the country. Members who participated in 2022 grew significantly through tournament participation, tours, and training, leading to activities with the Antlers Junior Youth and other clubs.
