Kids Traveling Guidance Report (October)
20 December 2022
With the support of the Kids' Committees of each prefectural football association (FA), JFA has been organising “Traveling guidance" courses around the country. In the "travelling guidance" course, travelling guidance staffs from each prefectural FA go to kindergartens, nursery schools, and primary schools to offer a variety of programmes for children to enjoy football. This is an initiative to give nursery staff and teachers, who may not have much experience or knowledge of football, the opportunity to join a team of experienced football coaches and give the children time to exercise with the ball. Here we will introduce the traveling guidance activities that were recently conducted.
Tue. 18 October, Kanbe Kindergarten (Suzuka, Mie)
This time, we were given the opportunity to teach football to 21 children from the five-year-old class. In the class, which we began by teaching the importance of "challenge", the children enjoyed trying things they couldn't do, experimenting with different body movements, learning to stop and kick the ball, and playing football energetically and vigorously. When we played games at the end, they expressed their joy and frustration at their wins and losses, and at the end they said to their friends, “Thank you, let's play again!” We will continue to deliver smiles to the children through football.
Coach's Comment
KATO Masanori (FA Traveling Guidance Staff)
The children gave their best in this football class. The football goal was also delivered to the kindergarten on this day, so we hope that they will use it to enjoy playing football and take on new challenges on a daily basis.
Teacher's Comment
Even those who are usually quiet found these exercises to be enjoyable. We look forward to providing them with more opportunities to exercise in the future.
