[7/22 Update]
We have conducted classes using the "Aoaka Drill," so we are adding a report on the implementation. 

The 2025 edition of the "Aoaka Drill," a physical education teaching material for elementary schools focusing on children's "physical fitness" and "increasing opportunities to engage in sports," has been completed with the cooperation of Teikyo University, the club's official partner. This year, Shinjuku Ward has also been added, and it has been distributed to approximately 190 public elementary schools in Tokyo and over 17,000 first-grade students.

We hope that this drill will help even one child to enjoy moving their body and playing sports, and become a starting point for communication with their family and friends. We will continue to work together with the local community to engage in various activities, with the hope of increasing the number of children who feel the joy of sports.

Implementation Report

We conducted classes using the "Aoaka Drill," which was created and distributed as one of the initiatives to increase the number of children who find moving their bodies and playing sports enjoyable.

The children carried out the drill activities while receiving encouragement from the coaches of the Promotion Department.
Even if they couldn't do it at first, as they kept trying repeatedly, various voices such as "I did it!" and "Yay!!" echoed throughout the gymnasium, and they worked hard on various activities.

We will continue to work with the local community to create opportunities for children to experience the fun of exercise and sports, and to understand the importance of working together with their peers.

We would like to thank everyone at Fuchu City Sumiyoshi Elementary School and Shinjuku Ward Ochiai Daini Elementary School for their cooperation in filming the classes using the drill.
