Urawa Reds Academy Soccer School
“Urawa Reds Soccer School”, which celebrated its 6th anniversary in 2019, will restart in April 2024 under the new name “Urawa Reds Academy Soccer School”.

These activities are in line with the goals of ``producing top team and world-class players'' and ``developing rich people and character development through soccer,'' and the club and coaching staff are doing their best to realize these goals. However, the narrow physical range of activities and limited teaching methods are not enough to meet the needs of a wide range of children and their parents, including those who want to enjoy soccer and those who seriously want to become professional players. There were some circumstances in which we could not say that we were able to fully respond to your requests.
In light of these issues, "Urawa Reds Academy Soccer School" will mainly focus on the following five items.
- Main focus items 1
- Inheriting the current Soccer Academy's purport of "producing players who will play for top teams and in the world" and "developing rich human resources and human formation through soccer," the Urawa Reds Academy's coaching method (Diamond Method) will be the main focus, while Urawa Reds will make full use of various coaching methods that have been developed by Urawa Reds and Heart-full Club, including the "Heartful Mind" coaching method. The training will be conducted using various instructional methods developed by , including the "Heartful Mind" instructional method of .
- Main focus items 2
- The coaching team includes experienced coaches such as Urawa Reds alumnus Atsushi Natori and former Urawa Reds Academy coach Yoshikazu Iwasaki, and we will provide even higher quality instruction than ever before.
- Main focus items 3
- We have established three courses, ``Basic Course,'' ``Advanced Course,'' and ``Special Course,'' depending on the skills of the participants, and aim to provide an environment that is as tailored to the current situation and requests of the participants as possible. Masu.
- Main focus item 4
- We have expanded the target age range of participants from elementary school students and above to include middle school and older age groups, providing an appropriate instructional environment for children of a wider range of ages.
- Main focus items 5
- By expanding the activity locations to include Saitama City (Yono, Reds Land), Kumagaya City, Koshigaya City, and Sayama City in addition to Ohara Training Ground, we will provide an environment where more children can participate comfortably. .
The club Urawa Reds has cultivated 110 years of Saitama soccer history and tradition, and thanks to our predecessors, partners, hometown, and fans and supporters who have inherited the history and tradition, we have become the "soccer town of Urawa." I am able to exist as a member of
We would like to fully understand your thoughts and work together to realize a healthy and prosperous society.
In the future, we will select Urawa Reds or Urawa Reds Ladies from among the children who have been exposed to the wonders of sports and soccer through the Urawa Reds Heartful Heart-full School run by Urawa Reds Reds Heart-full Club and our Academy Soccer School. Producing ``Oraga Town players'' who are active in Japan, Asia, and the world as a soccer player is one way of giving back to the people of ``Urawa, the soccer town,'' and we would like to make this a reality.
