The 2023 Keiki Summer Clinic hosted by the Pacific Rim Cup was a big hit with the keiki! They had tons of fun and enjoyed a supportive and positive atmosphere throughout the event. The event coaches included three former members of the Japanese national soccer team such as Ayumi Kaihori, Hideo Hashimoto, and Takuya Yamada. In addition, former Hawai’i professional soccer player Kenji Treschuk was another coach.
The coaches and volunteers were kind and encouraging, making sure every child felt included and happy. The kids played soccer games, made new friends, and had a great time, leaving with big smiles on their faces.
