At Asobi Kids Club, we believe sports are about more than physical activity—they are a powerful way to build character, confidence, and resilience.
Through play, movement, and teamwork, children learn the values of respect, discipline, perseverance, and mutual encouragement. Inspired by the strengths of Japanese education and rooted in the diverse New York community, our programs help children grow not only as athletes, but as individuals.
Led by experienced instructors, we create a supportive environment where every child is encouraged to take on challenges, overcome obstacles, and celebrate progress together.
Our mission is simple: to help children develop the skills, mindset, and relationships that will support them for a lifetime.

Daiki Mizuniwa
Hi, I’m Daiki Mizuniwa!
I’ve played baseball in Japan, the United States, and Puerto Rico, and I’m now working as a trainer as well.
Throughout my career, I’ve always studied how to maximize performance with a smaller frame as a Japanese athlete. One of the most effective methods I’ve found is gymnastics-based training, especially animal movements.
I’m really excited to bring this approach to young athletes in the U.S. and help them move better, get stronger, and improve their overall performance.
