[April 5th (Sun) "Individual Participation Futsal" for School Student Guardians]

[April 11th (Sat) "Skill-Up School in Tsukuba" for 2nd Graders]
On Saturday, April 11th, "Skill-Up School in Tsukuba" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center for 2nd graders!
With the theme of "one-on-one strengthening," it was impressive to see the children desperately clinging to the ball, trying to acquire the techniques of using dribbling to get past opponents and tackling to win the ball in crucial one-on-one situations in soccer.
In the game held at the end, they were making various efforts both offensively and defensively when facing an opponent, and even though it was a short time, significant growth was observed!
[April 19th (Sun) "Movement & Mini-Game Event: Balance Edition" for 3rd and 4th Graders]
On Sunday, April 19th, "Movement & Mini-Game Event: Balance Edition" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center for 3rd and 4th graders!
With "balance" as the theme for "movement," we trained core body one-on-one skills and concluded with a match. We performed exercises like daruma-oki (getting up from a seated position), forward rolls, and sideways rolls to stimulate the semicircular canals responsible for balance. We also practiced essential soccer skills such as battling for the ball while clashing bodies with opponents and maintaining possession by getting to the ball before an opponent.
In the final match, some players managed to win the ball amidst fierce physical contact!
[April 25th (Sat) "3-on-3 1st Grader Tournament"]
On Saturday, April 25th, the "3-on-3 1st Grader Tournament" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center!
Teams participated, and some teams were formed on the spot with members who gathered on the day, and matches were played. In the tournament, there were high-scoring, intensely contested matches that even went into penalty shootouts, with neither side giving an inch! Everyone desperately chased the ball, trying to show the results of their practice!!
[April 26th (Sun) "Dads' Soccer in Tsukuba"]
On Sunday, April 26th, "Dads' Soccer in Tsukuba" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center.
We conducted training and matches with the members who gathered on the day, deepening our camaraderie while getting some exercise! In the final match, we saw many passionate plays, including incredible goals, that rivaled those of active youth players.
It was a time to relieve daily lack of exercise and experience the fun of soccer!!

On Wednesday, April 29th (holiday), the "Shoot & Goalkeeper School in Tsukuba" was held at the Tsukuba Academy Center for 3rd and 4th graders!
The participants were divided into groups and practiced to improve their shooting and shot-stopping skills. In the final match, there were powerful shots and goalkeepers making brave shot saves!!
Having a goalkeeper present allowed for a more practical atmosphere to learn important shooting techniques in soccer!
