The event celebrated the completion of artificial turf installation and lighting equipment, with 150 participants from elementary school 4th graders to junior high school students.
After greetings from Mayor Masahiro Hashimoto and other guests, Mayor Hashimoto kicked off the event with a penalty shootout, wearing an Antlers uniform. His splendid goal officially opened the school.
Participants were divided into three groups. At the Antlers staff station, they practiced passing, control, and dribbling, while at the Nakata C.R.O station, they engaged in 1-on-1 drills.
During the 1-on-1 attacking portion, participants were carefully instructed to actively initiate plays, and in defense, to approach carefully and then position themselves to respond to any opponent's move.
Finally, a game was played across the entire pitch. Many 1-on-1 situations arose, and participants fully demonstrated the results of their training. They also tried to steal the ball from Nakata C.R.O as he dribbled, and conversely, challenged him to dribble past them.
Mayor Hashimoto also unexpectedly joined in, adding to the excitement of the game.
Nakata C.R.O concluded with a greeting, saying, "A wonderful ground has been created, and I look forward to seeing players who will be active in the J-League and overseas emerge from here. Thank you very much."
After the school, a highly popular autograph and handshake session was held for as long as time allowed.
