The Japan Pro-Footballer Association (JPFA) held the “2015 JPFA Football School in Minamisanriku” in Miyagi Prefecture on Sunday.

JPFA chairman Hisato Sato and Sanfrecce Hiroshima team-mate Kazuhiko Chiba spent the day giving lessons to roughly 50 participants at Minamisanriku’s Shizugawa Junior High School.

Urawa Reds’ Tomoya Ugajin and Yuki Muto were also present and joined by former Thespa Kusatsu Gunma man Yasunori Takada plus ex-Sanfrecce midfielder Yusuke Shimada.

This latest clinic is just one of several the JPFA has hosted in the areas affected by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, carrying a slogan of “Cheer Up Japan With Football!”
