Bringing Japan to You Program
EMPOWERING LOCAL YOUTH WITH JAPAN’S EXPERTISE
Learn the Japanese Football Techniques and Skills the Right Way with Japanese Professional Coaches
TRIPS4SOCCER is excited to announce a new program as part of our “LEARN THE KEY OF JAPANESE FOOTBALL” project, bringing Japanese coaches and soccer experts to various regions in Southeast Asia to host soccer clinics. These experts, with extensive experience in developing internationally successful players, will deliver world-class training methods used in Japan. Young athletes will have the opportunity to receive top-tier coaching in their own communities, improving their skills, teamwork, and global perspective. This initiative, in collaboration with local organizers, aims to contribute to the growth of football across Asia.
