``We received an introductory comment from Musashimurayama City regarding the holding of the XNUMXth Boys and Girls Dodgeball Tournament. ”

This year's "Boys and Girls Dodgeball Tournament" will be held on Saturday, January XNUMXth and Sunday, January XNUMXth, XNUMX at the Musashimurayama City General Gymnasium, Gym Room XNUMX.The purpose of this tournament is to arouse children's interest in sports, improve their physical strength, and deepen exchanges between schools through the popular sport of dodgeball.

On the first day, we will hold a division for XNUMXrd and XNUMXth grade elementary school students (for boys and girls, respectively), and on the second day, we will hold a division for XNUMXth and XNUMXth grade elementary school students (for boys and girls, respectively).The game will consist of qualifying rounds followed by a final tournament to determine the rankings.The referee is the Tokyo Dodgeball Association, and the overall tournament management is handled by the City Sports Promotion Committee.The highlight is the excitement of children, teachers, and parents as a total of approximately XNUMX children from nine elementary schools in the city participate.In addition, some of the city's elementary schools practice dodgeball all year round, and each school uses high-level tactics such as pitches that you wouldn't expect to throw and defensive formations that each school has devised. I would like you to watch it.

The role of our city's sports promotion committee for the Boys and Girls Dodgeball Tournament is to be the official for each court (referee support, etc.), the caller, and guide the players.They are always attentive to ensure that the participating children can participate in the games safely and cooperate with the smooth running of the tournament.In addition, we asked the sports promotion committee members to point out things that we might not notice from an administrative perspective, such as improving efficiency by changing the competition format or modifying the rules created by the administration. We are making use of it.

Although this tournament is only open to elementary school students in the city, people from outside the city are also welcome to watch and cheer, so please come to our city and experience the excitement of the ``Boys and Girls Dodgeball Tournament.'' Please feel it.

My town's sports promotion committee interview corner

This time,Mr. Akira Tsuno, Musashimurayama City Sports Promotion Committee(He has been on the sports promotion committee for 21 years), we talked about various things about the activities of the sports promotion committee and the boys and girls dodgeball tournament.

　Thank you very much, Tsuno-san!
　First of all, Mr. Tsuno, please tell us why you became a sports promotion committee member.

　When I moved to Musashimurayama City, I was inspired to participate in a local sports day, which led me to become a sports-related officer of the neighborhood association, and through that experience I became a member of the physical education guidance committee (currently sports promotion committee).

　What kind of activities do you usually do as a sports promotion committee member?

　Personally, I introduce new sports and hold trial sessions at local events.
　As for district activities, we plan and hold events that anyone can participate in, such as ground golf tournaments, for people in the district.

　Mr. Tsuno, what do you feel is the appeal and reward of being a sports promotion committee member while working as a sports promotion committee member?

　This may be a personal answer, but I believe that the main players in events such as sports tournaments are the participating athletes.It feels rewarding when the participants feel comfortable playing and the event runs smoothly.

　Please tell us about what you are putting effort into and what you have devised to hold the XNUMXth Boys and Girls Dodgeball Tournament, and how you are involved as a sports promotion committee member.

　The dodgeball tournament is a tournament that even children who would not normally have the opportunity to participate in sports tournaments can participate in, and it is a very exciting tournament for elementary school students and their parents.
In such a situation, as a sports promotion committee member, I would like to run the tournament with care to ensure that there are no accidents, not only for the participating children but also for the spectators.

　Lastly, please give a message to the citizens of Tokyo!

　I think it's important to participate in various events without worrying about sports!
You are sure to make new discoveries!

　Thank you, Tsuno-san! !
