[2026 Glove-Making Experience] Create a Baseball Glove with Your Child – Perfect for Summer Vacation Projects! 'Guro-Tsuku,' Joined by 258 Families Last Year, Expands to 27 Venues Across Tokyo!

Global Porters Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / President: Tomohiro Yonezawaya), operator of 'Re-Birth Baseball Glove Regeneration Workshop,' will host the 'Make Your Own Glove! (Guro-Tsuku)' baseball glove-making experience from July 18 to August 23, 2026. By creating their first glove together, families gain lasting memories, emotional attachment, and practical skills. This experience teaches emergency repair techniques, such as fixing a broken lace during play. Just as players who care for their equipment tend to improve faster, Re-Birth aims to nurture young athletes who value their tools from an early age. Upon completion, participants receive an official certificate, making it suitable for summer vacation free research or craft projects. Due to annual popularity, the event will expand to 27 venues with 50 sessions in 2026 (up from 48 in 2025), and we warmly welcome your participation.

Event Overview: Guro-Tsuku

Parents and children will work together to complete youth baseball gloves, focusing on webbing and fingertip wrapping (ten-maki). Challenging or strength-intensive steps will be supported by guardians. Children who complete their glove will receive an original completion certificate.

2026 Limited-Time Participant Benefit

All participants who register for sessions between July 18 and July 31 will receive a complimentary Rawlings glove bag (grab bag).
