Thanks to the sponsorship from Daihatsu, the cheering went to another level and the togetherness of the team became stronger, so I think that the emotions of the players rose as well.
Although technical improvements are an issue, minor errors are lessen. Centered on the teams from each base, we hope to aim towards increasing competitiveness and developing the health of the children.
Interest in the sport of badminton deepened thanks to this support and assistance, so I hope that it could lead to even just a small increase in the number of primary school badminton players.

We were moved by seeing all the players earnestly holding their racquets with their small bodies and trying so hard. We were very happy to see them use the supporter goods that were distributed to cheer with loud voices.
We are filled with a sense of gratitude at having received so much energy from all the players and get to participate in the cheering activities. We hope to continue our activities so that badminton can be loved by even more people!
