Naomi Osaka in a story posted on Instagram welcomed new partners, Japan YMCA, Nadeshiko Care and Ryutsu Keizai University, to the Play Academy. The Play Academy or Play Academy with Naomi Osaka is an initiative that plans to change the girl’s lives through play and sport. The program is part of NIKE’s commitment to get kids moving around the world. The cause is also supported by Laureus Sports.

In the post Osaka talks about a girl called Marin from Japan YMCA. Marin is setting high goals for herself in Karate, using her voice, and kicking down barriers. In the future Marin will become a role model and inspire future generations.

In the past Naomi had talked about how close to her heart this issue was to her. She had said  “I believe in the power of sport to create bigger change, and I’m passionate about inspiring the next generation of female athletes.”

Osaka continued “But not all girls, especially girls from underserved communities, have the same opportunities or role models that I’ve had, I want to do something about it.”
