FC Tokyo will hold the "FC Tokyo Soccer Skill Up Summer Clinic" for 5th and 6th grade elementary school students.

In this clinic, we will conduct four intense days of training with coaches from the FC Tokyo Promotion Department to help players grow into those who understand the "positional play" that the FC Tokyo top team aims for, intentionally adjusting their positioning to gain an advantage over their opponents and take control of the game.

"Positional play" refers to intentionally adjusting one's position to gain an advantage in the match. By taking intentional positions, players can seize control in both offense and defense, becoming overwhelming against their opponents. Our staff is fully committed to guiding players in this approach.
