JAPAN BASE CAMP PROGRAM
ABOUT Program
The Japan Base Camp Program offers young athletes from Australia an unforgettable opportunity to combine sports, culture, and friendship in Japan.
This program welcomes participants from primary school to university level, whether as individuals or entire teams representing basketball, baseball, and rugby — with more sports to be added in the future as our network continues to grow.
During their stay, participants will train and play with Japanese teams, joining joint practices and friendly weekend matches that build teamwork, discipline, and international friendships.
Beyond the field, students also take part in school visits and cultural activities — including opportunities to meet Japanese students, experience local classrooms, and explore Japan’s landmarks and traditions.
For individual participants, we also offer short-term school immersion experiences, allowing them to attend a Japanese school for several days and gain a deeper understanding of daily student life in Japan.
