USF Sports Camp in Miyagi, Autumn 2016
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 grow their interest and understanding of sports and culture.
At the camp in Miyagi prefecture, four sports are held: soccer, volleyball, dance, and sepak takraw. We invited a former Japanese national team player as a lecturer to show us a spectacular demonstration, and we all enjoyed sports while learning the basic movements and rules. We also promoted cultural exchange and communication through popular exercise programs at overseas elementary schools, making original uniforms, and cooking dinner outdoors.
