On March 22, our school’s soft tennis club held a joint practice with SANAGE Junior High School and others. In the joint practice, the KOSEN students gave advice on basic techniques and tactics to the junior high school students, and it was a valuable opportunity to be stimulated by each other by completing the practice menu together. A practice match was also held, and the players from both schools took the match seriously, and a heated rally unfolded.
I was impressed by the fact that the junior high school students listened very seriously to the advice of the KOSEN students. It was also a good opportunity for the KOSEN students to realize the importance of the basics through joint training and to review their own play.
In addition, a junior high school student who participated in the practice commented, “I learned that Toyota KOSEN has six omni courts (artificial turf) and has a wonderful environment where students can balance their studies and sports. Through this joint practice, we were able to get the junior high school students to feel the atmosphere of the KOSEN and get them interested, which was a great encouragement for us.
A KOSEN student also told junior high school students, “The KOSEN has an environment where you can balance your studies and club activities, and the soft tennis club is fun and serious every day. And so on.
In the future, we will continue to value exchanges with local junior high school students and continue activities to convey the joy of soft tennis and the appeal of KOSEN. Thank you to all the junior high school students who participated in the joint practice!
