This time, 16 kids from the middle-year and final-year kindergarten classes participated!
Before starting the matches, we warmed up with "Daruma-san ga Koronda" (The Daruma doll fell over)!
Ready, set,
Go!
Stop on one foot!
We also did a dribbling version!
Then the matches started! The teams were divided into 4 and played a round-robin tournament.

Nice play!
Especially during this season, proper hydration is essential!
A match on a slightly larger court!
Many kids at this age already had the ball glued to their feet and were playing with their heads up. Their future looks promising!
Finally, a match against the coaches!
The winner was...
Today, we played a total of 5 matches!
Everyone did their best!
And then, the reward? A lottery.
Prizes included [an autograph board signed by Uchida and a coin purse signed by Ueda, etc.].
We hope that by holding this event, even more kids will come to love soccer even more and want to practice even more than before.
*Their faces look a little tired after the match.
We plan to hold more events for "kids" in the future!
We look forward to many participants next time too!
