Hometown Elementary School Visit: Hokota City Toma Elementary School

On May 13th, players Caio and Yuma Suzuki visited Hokota City Toma Elementary School. When the two players appeared in the gymnasium, about 50 children from the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades welcomed them with applause.

After being introduced by staff, both players demonstrated their juggling skills. Yuma also performed heading juggling with a representative student, making sure not to let the ball touch the ground. The children also showed excellent ball control, and the juggling continued for many repetitions.

After the demonstration, they enjoyed "hand-holding tag," "banana tag," and "rock-paper-scissors train." Caio and Yuma played the role of "oni" (it) and chased the children running away with smiles.

In "rock-paper-scissors train," after playing rock-paper-scissors, the loser would stand behind the winner, placing their hands on the shoulders of the person in front to form a "train." Caio and Yuma eagerly played rock-paper-scissors but quickly lost, forcing a wry smile.

After the three games, they played dodgeball and soccer. In dodgeball, the two players split into teams and formed a huddle before the game to pump themselves up. Caio said to the children, "We're definitely not going to lose!"

In the two dodgeball matches, Caio's team and Yuma's team each won one game, resulting in a 1-1 tie. The losing team was supposed to do 10 push-ups as a penalty, but for some reason, Caio and Yuma ended up doing push-ups with children on their backs. Both players showed impressive strength, but they also looked to be struggling.

After enjoying five different activities, both players thanked the children. Caio said, "It was a lot of fun. Good luck with your studies!" Yuma, who was participating in a school visit for the first time, also greeted them with "Thank you for today." A representative student gave them a strong message: "Today was really fun. Please do your best to win for Antlers."

Finally, they took commemorative photos by grade. After the photos, both players received energetic thanks from the children, "Thank you very much!", and exited the gymnasium. As they left the school, the children waved from their classrooms to see the players off.
