Elementary school students in Hachioji can step onto the court this autumn as the Tokyo Hachioji Bee Trains host a free basketball clinic during the Tobuki Clean Festa 2026 on Sunday, October 25, 2026.
Tobuki Clean Festa Schedule and Venue
The youth basketball sessions will take place near the Tobuki Incineration Plant located at 1916 Tobukicho, Hachioji City, Tokyo. Organizers split the event into two distinct time blocks to accommodate participants. The first session runs from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM local time, while the second session is scheduled from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM local time. Exact meeting locations will be provided in the participation confirmation notices sent to accepted applicants.
Participant Capacity and Gear Requirements
Attendance is limited to 30 elementary school students per session, spanning grades one through six. Beginners are explicitly welcomed by the club. Attendees must wear comfortable clothing and indoor athletic shoes, and bring a towel along with a personal beverage for hydration. Participants who own a basketball are encouraged to bring it, while those without a ball can indicate so on the application form.
Application Process and Deadlines
Parents and guardians must submit applications via the official Google online form by 11:59 PM on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Siblings may be registered together under a single submission, though applicants must select only one preferred time slot. In the event that applications exceed the 30-player cap per session, a lottery will determine the participants. Organizers will email selection results to applicants on Monday, October 19, 2026.
Festival Attractions Beyond the Court
The basketball experience operates as part of the broader Tobuki Clean Festa 2026 program. Alongside the athletic sessions, the municipal event features environmental awareness booths and live stage performances organized by Hachioji City.
