ARSENAL SOCCER SCHOOLS TO OPEN IN JAPAN
More youngsters have opportunity to 'Play the Arsenal Way'

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that Arsenal Soccer Schools will be coming to Japan for the first time this summer.

The Club will run week-long sessions in Yokohama City and Osaka during August, with experienced coaches from the UK schools operating the courses in partnership with Amazing Sports Lab Japan inc.

The courses will give Japanese youngsters the chance to learn to 'Play the Arsenal way', with sessions built around the footballing philosophies of Arsène Wenger, using the techniques employed by the Arsenal manager to nurture young talent. For all ability levels, they will welcome boys and girls aged between 6 and 13.

Arsenal and Japan international Ryo Miyaichi, who has benefited from the Gunners training techniques since arriving at the Club last term, said: "There are many football lovers in Japan and many people who love Arsenal too, so I think the new Soccer Schools will be very exciting. I would have loved for the chance to go on a course like this when I was growing up!"

The Arsenal Soccer Schools will take place as follows:

• Monday 6th to Friday 10th August – Minato Mirai Sports Park , Yokohama City
• Monday 13th to Friday 17th – Minato Mirai Sports Park , Yokohama City
