The purpose of the accommodation-type sports camp is to promote communication and international exchange through sports with participating children and volunteer staff. By experiencing multiple competitions, participants are exposed to the diversity of sports and promote their interest in and understanding of sports and culture.
Four sports are held at the camp in Chiba prefecture: soccer, basketball, badminton, and rugby. We invited a former Japanese national team player as a lecturer to present a masterclass through demonstration, and we all enjoyed sports while learning the basic movements and rules. We also communicated by playing games that are popular overseas, English games, and experiencing traditional sports overseas during sports lectures.
