Adults are not the only ones who have come to avoid going out or gathering together due to the corona sickness. It also has a great impact on children. In particular, children’s sports activities are subject to various restrictions. The Alvark Tokyo x KINTO “Basketball Kids Day by KINTO” project was planned to support such children from the aspect of sports.
“Basketball Kids Day by KINTO” where you can watch professional games and take special lessons
One of the reasons children want to play sports is when they watch a professional game. KINTO Co., Ltd., which develops car subscription services, will hold a “Basketball Kids Day by KINTO” event in collaboration with the professional basketball team “Alvark Tokyo” belonging to B.LEAGUE.
This event was designed to invite parents and children who love basketball for free. Furthermore, before watching the professional basketball game, the “Basketball Clinic by KINTO” was held in which the mini basketball team could participate.
Children will be more enthusiastic about practicing the special lessons taught by the academy coach who belongs to “Alvark Tokyo”.
You can practice at the venue where professional players play games! With this joy, the motivation of the children will be switched on, and the desire to do their best will increase. At the same time, the self-restraint of sports due to the corona sickness continued, and it was a moment when the patience of the children who had forgotten various exercises and games was rewarded.
After practice, you can also watch professional official games.

A professional basketball player runs around the court endlessly while dribbling and passing in front of him, deciding a splendid shot. The hearts of children who see such a figure are instantly taken away! It seems to have been a very good stimulus.
I want to cherish children’s experiences even in Corona
KINTO Co., Ltd. Akiko Masaka
Actually, this event was planned by Akiko Masaka of KINTO Co., Ltd., a mom who also has children in elementary school.
“I also have children and play mini basketball. I couldn’t use the gymnasium because of the corona, or even if I could use it, I wasn’t allowed to experience it due to the limited number of people.
The experience of an elementary school student is a really important memory. Communication with friends and coaches who enjoy basketball together is also an important memory for children’s growth.
I came up with this project when I wanted to create a place where children could play an active role. This is the 4th time for “Basketball Clinic by KINTO”, but there is one more time this season. I also want to make a plan to make families with children happy in the next season. Please join us if you have the opportunity. “
I want to support children’s dreams
Alvark Tokyo Tsuyoshi Tanaka
We spoke with Tsuyoshi Tanaka on behalf of the professional basketball club “Alvark Tokyo”.
“Because of the corona, there are less places for professional players and children to interact with each other. In such a situation, not only this “Basketball Kids Day by KINTO” but also online and other opportunities to interact with children and communicate with them.
Through the activities, some children who used to play at home can set goals by waking up to mini basketball, and some children are very excited. At that time, I feel the importance of sports again.
Now that the corona is terrible, I think that children may feel depressed. That’s why I want to rethink “what is the mission of a professional sports club”, communicate with friends through sports, and feel the importance of pursuing dreams. We will continue to promote physical and mental health through sports, convey the importance of communication with friends, and plan to enjoy basketball with the whole family. “
I’m looking forward to continuing the project to support basketball kids and their families in collaboration with KINTO from next season onwards. Children often refrain from going out due to corona damage, and children tend to get stressed. It would be great if we could create opportunities to play sports well through events and lessons while taking proper measures against infectious diseases.
