Edmílson Soccer Clinic

We invited 54 children in Tokyo and held a football clinic with Edmilson. They enjoyed playing soccer with Edmilson, a former Brazilian national team player, through passing practice and mini games. After the clinic, Edmilson told the children that we want children to value the feeling of 'enjoyment' and have to create such an opportunity and environment."

Edmílson Soccer Clinic

About 140 children from the 4th grade to the 3rd grade of junior high school were selected by lottery to participate in a class taught by world renowned, top players including Edmilson. The children practiced passing and shooting to improve ball control and communication. After the clinic, there were photo-taking opportunities and a question-and-answer segment. Children with dreams of turning pro could ask the players questions.

Through soccer, Edmilson wants the children to learn "the importance of having a dream", "the importance of continuing their efforts" and to "polish their manners and courtesies".

Club Activity Support

In Japan, the government has a system called school attendance support as financial support for children in poverty, but there is no support for club activities. Therefore, some children give up on the club activities they want to do. To support such children, we provided some of the equipment and supplies used in junior high school club activities, such as soccer, baseball, and volleyball, and covered some of the expenses required for the expedition.
