A goal-keeper coach or an assistant coach (serving also as supporter in the administration of the event) can be added after consulting JFA National Training centre's coach, but the number of these people and their role should be kept to a minimum.
The guidance (theme explanation etc.) is performed by JFA National training centre's coach and lectures are performed by JFA National Training centre's coaches or by lecturers invited by JFA.
