Academy Initiatives

Establishment of a "Community-Based Player Development System"

Kashima Antlers Academy is rooted in the community and operates with three core branches: Kashima (eastern and southern Ibaraki Prefecture), Norte (northern Ibaraki Prefecture), and Tsukuba (western Ibaraki Prefecture).

The academy is comprised of the Development Division (Youth U18, Junior Youth U15, Junior U12) and the Outreach Division (School). Our goal is to develop as many outstanding players as possible, providing consistent coaching that nurtures each individual player's personality, characteristics, and sensibility.
