[March 15 (Sunday) "Kids Soccer Festival in Tsukuba"]
On Sunday, March 15th, the "Kids Soccer Festival in Tsukuba" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center for kids (new 4-5 and 5-6 year olds) and new 1st graders.
We practiced basic skills such as movement drills, ball feeling, and dribbling shots, and then had a fun game at the end.
It was impressive to see the children get back up quickly and chase the ball even when they fell!
This event allowed everyone, from school students to friends new to soccer, to experience the joy of kicking a ball.
Thank you to everyone who participated!!
[March 20 (Friday/Holiday) "Tsukuba Area Completion Ceremony"]

[March 21 (Saturday) "Tsukuba Junior Youth Manager & Coach Direct Instruction! Skill Up School" for 3rd-5th Graders]
On Saturday, March 21st, the "Tsukuba Junior Youth Manager & Coach Direct Instruction! Skill Up School" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center for 3rd to 5th graders! The participating players maintained a good level of tension throughout, and the training was intense with sustained focus.
Six players decided to advance to the Kashima Antlers Youth team this spring. Under the guidance of Manager Yamao, Coach Nemoto, Coach Ebisawa, and GK Coach Suzuki from Kashima Antlers Tsukuba Junior Youth, who have sent many players to the youth team, we conducted practical and high-quality training focusing on "man-to-man," "shooting," "pass & control," and "GK"!
The children listened intently to the advice given by the Junior Youth coaches, which came from their unique perspective!
Thank you to everyone who participated!
[March 28 (Saturday) "1-Day Skill Up School in Tsukuba"]
On Saturday, March 28th, the "1-Day Skill Up School in Tsukuba" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center for new 4th to new 6th graders.
In the first half, we focused on training with the themes of "shooting" and "dribbling," and in the second half, we played many games.
We practiced shooting assuming various situations during a match. The subsequent man-to-man practice was a valuable time to acquire practical shooting techniques, such as when to shoot and how to maneuver in front of the goal!
In the games played in the second half, it was impressive to see the players actively shoot while also being committed to winning!
Thank you to everyone who participated!

All of our staff look forward to your continued participation!
