On January 25th, C.R.O. Nakata (hereinafter: Coach Nakata) participated in the Kashima School game course. This game course started anew in April of last year.
Coach Nakata called roll for each grade level, and the players, though a bit shy, responded when their names were called by Coach Nakata.
Since this class focuses on games, we arranged for everyone to be on the same team as Coach Nakata. Before the match began, Coach Nakata asked for the names of everyone in his group, and during the game, he called out their names to coach and encourage them.
At the end of each grade level, there were autograph and photo sessions. Also, in the 5th, 6th grade, and junior high school classes, Coach Nakata spoke to the players about "the importance of playing soccer with all your heart."
