Tomohiko MATSUZAKI(Kanagawa Prefecture School Children Badminton Federation Chairman)
I have great hopes for the performance of the players who managed to win their way to become the representatives of Kanagawa prefecture at the national tournament. For the nominated representative players, I hope they achieve victory in the C group and B group.
Thanks to Daihatsu, the tournament really came alive due to their many activities such as the panel displays and commemorative photos.
We hope to continue strengthening the year 1 and year 2 primary school students as we aim towards the national tournament.

It was my first time to watch a badminton game and I was very surprised at how fast the players can smash the shuttle, I could barely follow it with my eyes!
Watching the shuttle going back and forth made me remember the times when I used to play badminton as a kid. It made me want to play again after such a long time, I would really like to try. Thank you for helping me remember some nostalgic memories!
