About URASS

Bringing Urawa Reds Academy
Expertise to Vietnam

URASS (Urawa Reds Academy Soccer School Vietnam) is an officially certified soccer school by the academy of Urawa Red Diamonds, competing in Japan's J1 League.

Currently operating at our Hanoi school, we welcome children from U-6 to U-18. Our coaching team includes Japanese coaches with experience at J1 club soccer schools, internationally experienced coaches based in Vietnam, and Vietnamese coaches — delivering high-quality training in a diverse, multicultural environment.

Our students are a multinational mix of Japanese, Vietnamese, and international children. Through football, they develop not just technical skills, but also communication, teamwork, and independence.

At URASS, we emphasize football technique and tactical understanding alongside personal development — good manners, teamwork, and self-reliance. We warmly welcome everyone to join our free trial session.

School Concept

International Development Methodology

We bring the world-class "Diamond Method" development philosophy from Urawa Reds Academy directly to children in Vietnam.

Holistic Physical & Mental Growth

Through football, we nurture not just physical fitness but also mental resilience, character, and emotional intelligence.

Developing Global Citizens

We develop the next generation of internationally-minded leaders — in football skills and beyond.

Enjoy Movement. Enjoy Football.

The Diamond Method

Urawa Reds' unique development methodology balances the four pillars: technique, tactics, physicality, and mentality.

Age-Appropriate Training

Curriculum tailored to each age group and developmental stage, ensuring coaching that grows with each child.

Independence & Creativity

We respect individual abilities and cultivate the capacity to think independently and play creatively. Coaching is also delivered in English by our international coaching staff.
