Japan Youth Soccer
- Football -

I started shooting football in Japan around 6,7 yrs ago...
We have a lot of family friends who’s children play for fun and for local teams,
some are progresssing to very high standards and training with professional teams now!

Ive played football all my life and still do, so this is a subject I really enjoy and understand.

Our friends kids are all different ages so we see a lot of grass routes footy development,
the kids professionalism, dedication and ability always impress’s me ...
along with the great coaching I have been blessed to observe.

Im always blown away by the infrastructure and football mentality in the
amateur game in Japan.

May I take your photograph please

Above is a line of the limited Japanese I know how to say, and I hardly ever get refused,
so when I asked the coach’s if I could take a few pics, they had no hesitation.
I get alot of help from friends and family with locations of teams, schools,
venues and training days + times.
