First, with C.R.O. Nakata as the emcee, the players put on a demonstration. In the juggling display, the two technicians effortlessly performed difficult tricks. Many of the students also played soccer, and they joined the players in juggling, showcasing their impressive ball handling skills. Girls also participated, and Player Sugimoto gently kicked the ball with them.




The first interaction was a game of "ice tag" with 4th and 6th graders. In ice tag, if a demon (tagger) touches you, you're frozen in place until a teammate touches you again. Players Sugimoto, Kubota, and C.R.O. Nakata were the three demons and chased the students, but due to the large number of children, they couldn't freeze everyone.


Next, they played dodgeball with the 5th graders. The players skillfully used the outfield to attack. At times, they relentlessly aimed for the students, but there were also instances where they fumbled the ball. Player Kubota even used a "hidden ball" trick to target the students.


Finally, they played mini-games of soccer, rather than futsal, against 4th to 6th graders. The 4th and 6th graders played against the player team, while for the 5th graders' game, both players and C.R.O. Nakata joined as helpers. There were also students wearing Player Sugimoto's uniform, leading to a "Sugimoto vs. Sugimoto" matchup. The students played soccer by connecting passes and aiming for goals strategically rather than just shooting wildly in front of the net. Since the player team only had three members, they used individual skill to get past the students and finish. C.R.O. Nakata also showcased excellent ball control and defense, shutting down the students' attacks. The students even gave coaching calls like "Pass to the back!" as they tried to force a goal. They played three matches, and perhaps due to fatigue, there were moments when Player Sugimoto's dribbling was stopped.







After the interaction, the students expressed their gratitude. The players then presented signed shikishi boards and pennants to the student representatives.
