About Roppongi Venue -
CLOSED UNTIL JAN 2026 FOR RENOVATION.
(Classes moved to ISSH in Hiroo)
Nanzan Elementary School, Roppongi/Azabu Juban, Minato-ku
Due to high temperatures making the rubber surface at Roppongi (Nanzan Elementary School) unplayable, summer sessions will be temporarily moved to Hiroo (ISSH) and held in the morning.
Additionally, from September 2025 to January 2026, the school ground will be closed for re-turfing. During this period, sessions will also take place at Hiroo (ISSH) during the regular session hours.
Please refer to our session calendar for detailed session times.
Nanzan Elementary School sits in the heart of Tokyo, just minutes on foot from the illustrious Roppongi Hills and is easily accessible from the Azabu Juban, Moto Azabu and Hiroo areas – all of which are popular residential areas of Tokyo’s thriving expatriate community.

Getting There
Nanzan Elementary School
3 Chome-8-15 Motoazabu, Minato Ku, Tokyo 106-0046
By Train:
Take either the Oedo or Namboku subway line to Azabu Juban station. Walk up Azabu Juban high street almost all the way to Roppongi Hills. Just before the high street joins the major road (leading to Roppongi tunnel), there’s a small road on the left that rises sharply around a corner. Nanzan Elementary School is located 100 meters along this road on the left-hand side, opposite Roppongi High School.
By Car:
Unfortunately parking is not available at the school itself, so parents bringing their children by car are asked to park in the nearby Roppongi Hills complex or one of the parking areas in Azabu Juban.
Ground & Footware
The ground is a safety-approved, rubberized playground and as such all children are asked to wear flat-soled trainers (sneakers) for their own safety, football boots (cleats) with moulded or screw-in studs will not be permitted on this surface (please see our Footwear Chart).
Rain Plan
We will go ahead in the light rain either at Nanzan or at the International School of Sacred Heart (ISSH) in Hiroo (depending on the condition of the grounds at Nanzan), in case of doubtful weather we will inform you on the day by 12pm noon on our Facebook page*: https://www.facebook.com/BritishFootballAcademy.
If there is heavy rain, snow (thick on the ground), lightning, or the ground is in poor condition due to earlier inclement weather the ground must not be used, and the sessions will be cancelled.
Please understand that there will be no refund or make up sessions in the event of cancelled sessions due to the weather/ground condition.
Please note:
*You do not have to have a facebook account to view this page
*Posts will be made only if the session is cancelled.
*We may have to cancel sessions when the ground condition gets worse right before/during the sessions.

FAQ
Q：Which class does my child best fit under?
A：We first look at your child’s age; Pups (3~4 y/o), Bulldogs(5~6 y/o), Lions (7~8 y/o), Lionesses (Girls only 9~12y/o), Academy (9~10 y/o), Academy Stars (11~12 y/o). We will have your child take the trial session accordingly to his/her age, then see whether that class is suitable or not.
Q：What happens if it is raining on the day?
A：In cases of inclement weather, please refer to the rain protocol for each venue. Also, by liking our Facebook page, you will quickly receive updates about weather cancellations and more. We will only inform when the sessions are cancelled. If you do not receive a message or see posts about cancellation, sessions will be on.
Q：How much are trial sessions?
A：For the younger classes we offer a 2 trial sessions set: Pups 5,000 yen, Bulldogs 6,000 yen
For the older classes 1 trial session : Lions 4,000 yen, Lionesses, Academy & Academy Stars 5,000 yen, U14 class 5,500 yen
Q：How do I apply for a trial session?
A：Please fill out the trial request form from here and you will receive an email from us for more infomation.
Q：Can I purchase new pairs of BFA socks/shorts/shirt?
A：The uniform comes in a set (shirt, shorts and socks) therefore we are not able to sell each products individually. Also we cannot provide a different size item (e.g. we cannot provide a 120cm shorts and a 130 cm shirt as a set).
Once you have taken the size/price tags off the uniform, please understand that we cannot exchange it for a different sized one.
Q：What is BFA’s make up policy?
A：In cases where a member is absent from their session or a session is cancelled by the location due to extenuating circumstances, it is impossible for us to provide refunds or adjustment to your future fee. Also, we cannot offer make up sessions on other days/locations for sessions you are absent for personal reasons.
