USF Sports Camp in Shizuoka, Spring 2017
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 promote their interest in and understanding of sports and culture.
At the camp in Shizuoka prefecture, four sports are held: soccer, basketball, volleyball, and sepak takraw. We invited a former Japanese national team player as a lecturer for a demonstration masterclass, and we all enjoyed sports while learning the basic movements and rules. We also communicated by playing games that are popular overseas and experiencing traditional sports overseas during sports lectures.
