[For Elementary School Girls] Girls' Soccer Exchange Meeting (Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara)
On March 29, 2026 (Sunday), an exchange event was held at "Sindbad Zama" in Sagamihara City for female school students from 1st to 6th grade, to interact with female school students of Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara!
We deepened our exchange through soccer, transcending the boundaries between the J.League and the WE League.
At first, everyone did an icebreaker to ease the tension, then formed teams of three, and played a cone-hitting game.
We saw the team thinking up strategies and working together cooperatively♪
After that, matches were held separately for lower and upper grade students, and instead of an exchange match, the school students from both clubs formed teams on the spot and played matches in that format.
When it came to the match, there was perhaps a different kind of tension, and there were moments when the play did not quite come together.
However, as the matches progressed, communication improved steadily, and calls to teammates and goal scenes gradually increased.
Gradually expanding the court size, in the end, students from 1st to 6th grade formed teams together and played matches.
Younger children desperately try to snatch the ball from the older sisters in the higher grades.
In scenes where goals were scored, you could hear cheers like "Nice goal!", creating a friendly atmosphere. However, in moments of close ball contests to take the opponent's ball, intense battle scenes were also seen, blending tension and enjoyment throughout the entire match.
By playing matches in teams formed with students from other clubs' schools, we were able to gain new discoveries and learning by playing in an environment different from usual.
Also, by playing cooperatively with teammates, I was able to truly appreciate the importance of teamwork.
Building on this experience, I hope you will continue to value communication with your teammates in future practices and matches, leading to better play.
Although the temperature exceeded 20℃, the children played energetically until the very end.
In the end, while saying "I'm tired~", the expression full of a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment was impressive.
We will continue to plan events that make all the female school students feel, "Soccer is fun!"
We look forward to your next participation!
