First, they held a demonstration. The students also participated in ball passing, but they couldn't take the ball from the professional players. Even students from Kashima Junior participated, but they were caught by Ogasawara's feints.

Next, they held a competition where students passed a hula hoop through themselves.

In the relay, Ogasawara's team lost, but due to their frustration, they decided to play again. However, Ogasawara made a critical mistake by failing to receive the baton, resulting in two consecutive losses.

Finally, a mini-game was played between the players' team and the students' team. Hirato, who is known for his accurate kicks even within his own team, scored a long shot aimed at a small goal. Towards the end of the game, not to be outdone, a student also scored a long shot, which delighted the players.

He also introduced Hirato to the students, saying, "He is a player who will carry Antlers in the future, so please support him."
