Holiday Junior Challenge Day 3 & 4

Hello everyone! News from day 3 & 4 of our Holiday Junior Challenge! The boys featured here from the left, Ryunosuke, Hiroto, Shinnosuke (front),  O.Hayato (back), Kotaro, and C. Hayato having some good old fun. Just a shot captured in the moment! 

Our cute little miss Shimako. Although she is small she has a fiery heart and doesn't like to give up. She is a challenger and would stand up to any boy anyway. 

This morning on the 4th day the courts were a little more wet than usual so everyone helped drying the court. Learned how to use the squeegee and sponge mops. A light exercise before warm-up! Best way to get the water off the courts quickly is to start in the middle moving circularly outwards. 

After our routine jogging and stretching we got into some partner activities. A relay race between two teams having a ball placed on the persons back. The object is to walk up to the net U-turn and come back and switch the leader until all teammate had their turn up front. Worked great with a mixed age group. 

For lunch today we headed out to Ramen King @ A-square were the kids got to choose from a variety of noodle entrée's and lunch sets. They were happy to take a small trip outside from APF Academies. They received complementary snack packs on the way out from one of the managers! There were so lucky!  Tomorrow will be our 5th and Final Day!
