Alvark Tokyo held a basketball clinic in June for 4th‑grade students at Fuchu Fifth Elementary, delivering dribbling and shooting fundamentals followed by a 5‑on‑5 mini‑game. Participants handled the ball with intensity and learned the value of team play.
What was the program like?
Coaches from the Alvark Tokyo Academy led the session, starting with hand‑handling and footwork drills to sharpen dribbling. They then repeated lay‑ups from the paint and jump shots from the perimeter, building game‑like confidence. The final 5‑on‑5 match emphasized passing, screens, and quick transitions between offense and defense.
Why does it matter for Alvark Tokyo?
The event forms part of the city’s "FUCHU‑NEXT" initiative, linking a top‑tier club with local schools to give youth a hands‑on sports experience. Alvark Tokyo aligns the clinic with its CSR program "ALVARK Will," directly supporting SDG Goal 3: Good Health and Well‑Being.
