Håfa Adai from Osaka! The boys have settled into Japan and here’s a quick look at the first few days:
Arrival – The team reunited with off-island players RJ, Cody, and JunJun, along with officials Ms. Hazel and Coach Atsu. After checking in, the squad loosened up with a light activation session and wrapped up with dinner and a team meeting.
Day 1 – Training kicked off at J-Green with fitness work led by Tsutsumi Naruhiko, trainer for the Japan All High School Select Team. The afternoon focused on set pieces before recovery and prep for the first match.
Day 2 – The boys faced Konan University in their first training match. The pace and quality were a big challenge, but exactly the type of experience they need for the AFC tournament.
Day 3 – The squad moved into J-Green Sakai and showed improvement in their second match against Kansai University. Markus Toves scored our first goal of the camp, and the team continues to grow stronger together.
Tomorrow will be a lighter recovery day to help the boys reset and recharge before the next stretch of training.
Spirits are high, progress is showing, and the squad is hungry for more. Please follow our page for daily updates from camp!
Let’s go NMI!
