Furthermore, FC Tokyo collaborates with elementary schools and educational committees in various municipalities in Tokyo that utilize the 'Aoaaka Drill.' Coaches from the Promotion Department visit schools to conduct classes using the drill, working towards enhancing children's opportunities for physical education and sports. In addition to the 'Aoaaka Drill,' FC Tokyo implements various initiatives under the 'FC Tokyo Smile Caravan' to provide children with diverse opportunities for exercise, including physical education classes and teacher training conducted by Promotion Department coaches, as well as career education lectures by staff.
□Implementation Report
As one of the initiatives to increase the number of children who feel that moving their bodies and playing sports is fun, we conducted a class utilizing the "Aoaaka Drill" produced and distributed at Horinouchi Elementary School in Suginami Ward.
The children are challenged to perform the drill movements while receiving encouragement from the Ishikawa CC and the development department coaches.
They actively challenged themselves with difficult movements, and after a while, the voice of "I did it" could be heard throughout the gym, and when they succeeded, they showed a wonderful smile.
At the end of the class, a message was sent from Ishikawa CC to the children, encouraging them to actively take on challenges, even difficult things or things they have never done before, and to share the joy of accomplishment with their peers, while also fostering a sense of gratitude.
In addition to collaborating with the local community around the stadium, we will work together with residents of areas in Tokyo, such as Suginami Ward, to create opportunities for children to enjoy exercise and sports.
Thank you to everyone at Horinouchi Elementary School for this time. Please try various movements at home or after school with your parents and friends.
