On November 21st, we held the "Kashima Antlers Koji Nakata C.R.O Soccer Clinic" at Hitachinaka City General Gymnasium to commemorate the renewal of the Hitachinaka Recreation Park. At the Hitachinaka City General Sports Park, we have been running an Antlers school every week since 1998, with the cooperation of Hitachinaka City and Hitachinaka City Life and Culture Public Corporation.
On the day, C.R.O Nakata (hereafter Coach Nakata) and Antlers School coaches instructed elementary school students from Hitachinaka City on the newly renovated artificial turf ground.
First, a group photo was taken, and then the participants split into groups for training.
Even during the basic pass and control drills, Coach Nakata provided excellent demonstrations, and the children practiced by imitating him.
Coach Nakata also provided careful demonstrations for heading, then went around to each group, speaking to each child individually.
During the mini-game, the popular Coach Nakata was called out by many children, saying, "Let me join your team!" and "Coach Nakata, pass the ball to me!"
The children chased the ball on the excellent grounds with Coach Nakata until the very end, and the two hours flew by.
~School trial participants wanted!~Kashima Antlers operates schools at 17 locations inside and outside Ibaraki Prefecture, with approximately 3,000 active participants ranging from kindergarteners to adults. The Hitachinaka school opened in 1998 and currently has 120 students who train every Friday. Students can participate in the school even if they belong to a junior club, and we also offer a special course to improve skills and a game-focused course. Additionally, coaches carefully instruct children who are new to soccer. Please come and try it out first (trial participation is free)!
