Your child’s own questions

Parents of older children
Help your child take ownership of their next step.
For parents supporting children from upper elementary school onwards, including junior and senior high school. You do not have to find every answer alone: a coach can help you and your child clarify what feels difficult.
The first online lesson, including consultation, is 30 minutes, JPY 5,500 including tax, or 5 credits, once per player. Account registration is free and does not itself incur a charge.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Make space for your specific questions.
Support varies by coach and specialism. Check the profile and contact us if you are unsure whether a topic is suitable.
Conversations after training or matches
Consider what to revisit and which questions to ask, so your child can think through their own football.
Priorities for practice at home
Clarify the purpose before adding more practice. Discuss school commitments and team activities when considering next steps.
FROM TALK TO PRACTICE
Support their learning without having to supply every answer.
Share an understanding of the discussion with your child. Their wishes and the approach of their existing team provide context for what to take back to training.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Before you take the next step.
Is this also for parents of teenagers?
Yes. This page covers children from upper elementary school through high school. Check each coach’s profile for the ages they support.
What if my child cannot explain the problem clearly?
They can begin with a moment or feeling they remember. A parent can help fill in the context without preparing a perfect explanation.
Does a parent attend the consultation?
Guardian consent and attendance are required for under-18s. The first 30-minute session normally allocates 20 minutes to the player and 10 minutes to the guardian.
Do I need a video for my first consultation?
No. Reference video is optional for online lessons. Describe what is happening in training or matches and discuss your questions during the lesson.
What is free, and what is paid?
The first online lesson, including consultation, is 30 minutes, JPY 5,500 including tax, or 5 credits, once per player. Account registration is free and does not itself incur a charge.
Does the lesson include a report?
Yes. Every lesson includes a report summarising the discussion and what to work on next, prepared and checked by the coach before delivery. You can revisit it before and after training. Improvement speed and match results are not guaranteed.
