As this season progresses, the temperature is gradually rising, and we can feel spring approaching.
Even with players leaving the team due to graduation and new players joining, the Tsukuba Academy Center is still bustling with energetic players every day.
The players warming up with techball before training are the new second-year students.
They were all smiles throughout, saying, "It really gets exciting when it's a competitive match!"
Next to arrive were four more new second-year students.
They repeatedly committed fouls by entering the opponent's court over the central divider and returning the ball from the side... leading to many protests.
There was a lot of excitement and various discussions today as well.
I feel that the new second-year students have greatly improved their aerial ball control by utilizing techball in their daily training.
To transform this into genuine skills that will benefit them in games, we will continue to grow with techball and our "Football Dream - idomu" philosophy.
