17th of May, Unfortunately the rain stopped the boys from having a kick this morning. However, this gave a few team members and me an opportunity to check out equipments for training at AEON. We also had discussion on how we can push to increase the interest in AFL in Okayama and recruit new players.
In addition, we considered ways we can improve our training sessions. We may enquire about hiring a school gymnasium as the rainy season is approaching, which will probably inconvenience the regularity of training. On a brighter note, I had dinner with two American guys tonight, who are both interested in playing AFL.
Of course, it took some time explaining the rules, but they seemed to be keen so hopefully we can catch up again soon and get them on board. Finally, we have four new people who have expressed interest in the footy club this week. Hopefully, there will be plenty more people to come and hopefully there won’t be too many rainy days next week!
