As soon as C.R.O. Nakata arrived at the ground, he immediately started kicking the ball with the children. He even chased the children seriously during the warm-up game of tag.
When he participated in the game, he passed the ball to the children while also aiming for goals himself, conveying to them "the commitment to winning."
During the clinic, there was a long line for the autograph and photo session.

Even after sunset, C.R.O. Nakata continued to participate in the games, playing while giving precise instructions to the children reminiscent of his playing days.
Also, on March 7, Coach Yanagisawa participated in the Clinic Kashima School.

On that day, the top team's practice started at 9 AM, but as soon as it finished, he joined the clinic and chased the ball with the children.
Coach Yanagisawa was as popular as ever, and the autograph session was a huge success.
In the girls' class, the children were a little nervous and shy, but once the game started, they actively received the ball from Coach Yanagisawa. The children also seemed to have a lot of fun at the autograph session after the clinic.
