In 2006, we formed the "Panthers Junior Team" and have been managing its operations through the "Hirakata Kingfishers Sports Club," a comprehensive sports club based in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture, while providing activity support through OSAKA BLUTEON.
Since its formation, the team has been operating under the guidance of a coaching staff centered on OSAKA BLUTEONOB players. With the launch of the SV.LEAGUE in the 2024-25 season, which aims to be the "world's premier volleyball league," we have decided to build a more robust junior team organization and place the currently active elementary and junior high school junior teams under the OSAKA BLUTEON organization.
OSAKA BLUTEONAcademy will firmly support the growth of the children who will carry the future.
The youth team has set a vision to strengthen and develop players who can be active not only in the SV.LEAGUE and the Japan national team in the future, but also overseas, and we will also focus on human resource development that leads to the children's future.
In addition, as part of our activities to promote the sport of volleyball, we will also develop school programs that children who want to try volleyball or want to improve even a little can participate in.
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, OSAKA BLUTEONU12 participated in the "2026 Osaka Prefecture U10 Tournament, Nakakita-Kawachi Branch Qualifiers" held at Panasonic Arena.
