[For 1st and 2nd Grade Elementary Students] Skill-Up Futsal Class
On March 25, 2026, we held the "Skill-Up Futsal Class" at FC Tokyo Park Fuchu!
This event focused on the topic of "Control," with the intention of encouraging participants to "watch the opponent and think about what kind of control would be best!"
Unfortunately, due to unfavorable weather, the 3rd and 4th grade classes on the 25th, as well as the 1st and 2nd grade and 3rd and 4th grade classes on the 26th were canceled, but the 1st and 2nd grade class on the 25th was able to be held!
There were times when it rained, but undeterred by that, they energetically dedicated themselves to training.
During the training, we practiced ball attacks and sole control techniques called 'Tonpa' using the soles of the feet.
Since there were times when it rained, the environment made sole control difficult, but the participants carefully and earnestly practiced the points instructed by the coach.
After that, we practiced control in situations where there is an opponent, using as judgment criteria whether the opponent DF's arrow is coming toward oneself, being anticipated, or stationary, and challenged ourselves to figure out what kind of control would prevent losing the ball and how to get past the opponent.
They worked hard not to lose even in matches against the coach.
Even during the games, there were many instances where they challenged themselves with sole control, carefully watching their opponents and choosing their control accordingly.
We practiced sole control as a futsal technique that can also be applied to soccer, and I hope they can make use of this training in their future activities while considering its advantages and disadvantages.
We hold events that are open to participants other than school students, so please feel free to invite everyone and join us.
