Brazilian SC Logo
For devoted soccer families moving to Okinawa, there are a few choices for play. The best option for our family proved to be the Brazilian Soccer Club, coached by professional trainer Roberto Iwashita.
Brazilian SC Play 2
We began with summer soccer camps to get a feel for the club. Having just come from the madness of a stateside competitive soccer organization, we were looking for training and coaching without politics. After a year with the club, our family remains sure that we have found what suits our daughter’s needs best.
Brazilian SC Play 3
The kids come from a variety of backgrounds. Japanese children mingle with Brazilian and American players. Communication ranges from English to Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. I love that my child learns about other cultures and languages while working on her favorite sport!
Brazilian SC Play
Games and tournaments are mainly held with Japanese opponents who are sharply skilled. While sometimes the kids find themselves outplayed, they never go a game without learning and improving. Additionally, the players are exposed to traditional soccer on a variety of field sizes, futsal, and beach soccer.
