Takashi NISHIDA (Tottori Prefecture School Children Badminton Federation Chairman)
Thanks to Daihatsu’s sponsorship there were panel displays and commemorative photos, while the tournament itself had a lively atmosphere with so much excitement for the players and the tournament staff.
To all the players who managed to overcome intense matches to gain the right to enter the national tournament in each category, please continue to do your best at training to achieve your goals as representatives of Tottori prefecture.
We will keep implementing intensive training from the lower grades with the aim of raising the competitive strength of badminton among primary school students in Tottori prefecture.

We were really impressed to see all the players, coaches and family members doing their very best at the tournament. It was a very meaningful day for us to have helped all these people in our own small way with the supporting activities.
We send our best wishes to the Tottori prefecture representative players, so they can demonstrate their true abilities as they usually do at the final rounds of the national tournament as well.
We hope that players who will fly the Japanese flag and perform on the world stage will come out of Tottori prefecture in the future.
