The weather was excellent on the day, making for perfect soccer conditions.
The soccer clinic was divided into three groups, each focusing on "movement training," "ball feeling," and "kicking."
In the "movement training," parents and children competed against each other in movements such as jumping, crawling, dodging, running, and grabbing.
Children deftly overcame obstacles, while adults eagerly kept up with them, creating exciting battles between each parent and child pair!
There were also instances where children taught adults tips on how to move.
In the "ball feeling" training, parent-child pairs played catch, followed by passing and dribbling. Many children, with the cooperation of their parents, were able to skillfully perform difficult dribbles and passes. Calls of "Nice pass!" and "Nice dribble!" could be heard everywhere!
In the "kicking" training, participants started by hitting cones with their hands and eventually with kicks. Each time a cone was hit, parents and children rejoiced together, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Midway through, the children intently listened to advice from the coach in charge. Many parent-child pairs followed the advice and knocked down many cones, once again surprising us with the children's incredible ability to absorb new information!
Finally, we had a match between adults and children. Even after lots of practice, everyone worked hard during the match: children bravely headed for the goal, some defended it, others tried their best to steal the ball from adults, and some who fell got back up without crying to chase the ball again!
After the match, we presented participation towels and balls and took a commemorative photo!
We will continue to host events for children in the future, creating an environment where they can enjoy soccer!
Thank you for your participation!
