The Hitachinaka School's Thursday classes include 2nd and 3rd graders from the regular course, 4th to 6th graders from the goalkeeper course, and activities for Kashima Antlers Norte Jr.
It started with the 2nd and 3rd graders from the regular course!
In sports tag, the students engaged in tactical play against Coach Nakata.
Even during the games, there were many instances where the students showed their determination to try and steal the ball from Coach Nakata, leading to an intense match.
He also participated with the 4th to 6th graders from the goalkeeper course.
Coach Nakata also communicated with the goalkeeper students while training.
Some students even managed to stop Coach Nakata's shots, and Coach Nakata played with full effort.
During the autograph and photo sessions, not only the children but also the parents were delighted.
Coach Nakata plans to visit each school for coaching rounds, so we encourage not only current school members but also their friends to join and make many soccer buddies! Each school is always accepting trial participants.
