Koutaro SUMIYOSHI (Vice President, Kagoshima Badminton Association Primary School Subcommittee)
Each match was fiercely contested thanks to the coaches of each team putting in so much effort in their instructions. Even the players who unfortunately missed out on being representatives managed to display their abilities well.
Thanks to Daihatsu becoming the main sponsor, the atmosphere was different from previous tournaments and it gave more energy to the players and to the matches.
We will continue to work hard on our intensive training programs to raise the level of the players, so we can develop players that can compete in Kyushu and at the national tournament.
- This was our first time to watch badminton matches. We strongly felt the passion that everyone has for the tournament! We were pleased to have been able to participate in the tournament as supporters. We at the Daihatsu Group will continue to cheer for all of you!
