Sakai Seikotsuin Supported "GA Sakai Seikotsuin Spring Festival 2026" as First-Aid Trainers!

On March 28th (Saturday) and 29th (Sunday), 2026, the "GA (Global Arena) Sakai Seikotsuin Spring Festival 2026" was held at Global Arena in Munakata City, and the Sakai Seikotsuin Group supported the event as first-aid trainers. ## ■ About "GA Sakai Seikotsuin Spring Festival 2026" Organizers: Sakai Seikotsuin, Global Arena Co-sponsors: Mikasa, Mate Event: U15 Soccer (Junior high school soccer clubs, club teams) Venue: Global Arena (3 artificial turf fields, 2 natural grass fields) Total 5 fields Participating Teams: Aoba-Joko Junior High School, Uchihama Junior High School, Teruha Junior High School, Kashii Daiichi Junior High School, Higashi Sumiyoshi Junior High School, Miyatake Junior High School, Kinbu Junior High School, Hakozaki Seisho Junior High School, Hara Chuo Junior High School, Jiromaru Junior High School, Sekida Junior High School, Itazuke Junior High School, Moto-oka Junior High School, AC Farben, FC Grandir, Chikushino Minami Junior High School Footstep, FC Sfida, Oita Jonan Junior High School (in no particular order) Although it was chilly in the morning, the temperature rose enough to make people sweat during the day, and the event was held with cherry blossoms around the venue blooming about 70%. During the tournament, not only the players on the field but also substitute players, coaches, and guardians participated as a united team. Especially in high-intensity matches, there were scenes where players praised each other to boost morale when shots were scored, and encouraged each other when mistakes were made. ## ■ Sakai Seikotsuin's First-Aid Activities Before the start of the matches, we carefully checked the players' physical condition before and after warm-ups. If there were any concerns, we performed stretches and treatments to adjust their condition, sending them into the game in perfect shape. Once the matches began, there were many high-intensity games, and many players sustained injuries. Players who were injured visited the first-aid booth with anxiety about whether they could continue playing, but thanks to our swift and accurate response, they were able to return to the game feeling energetic and relieved. Even after the matches, we provided aftercare for injured players and treatments to prevent fatigue. Additionally, many participating players in this tournament had low muscle flexibility and limited range of motion, so we offered advice on how to build a body that is less prone to injury and stretches that can be done at home. The presence of a first-aid booth at sports tournaments, staffed by nationally qualified judo therapists and acupuncturists, provides peace of mind for players, coaches, and guardians.
