“Boccia Shinjuku Elementary School Cup XNUMXst Tournament”
～Shinjuku Ward～

December 25 2025

``We received an introductory comment from Shinjuku City regarding the holding of the ``First Boccia Shinjuku Elementary School Student Cup.'' ”

The Shinjuku City Sports Promotion Committee has been carrying out a variety of activities, primarily through Boccia, to build momentum for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.One of these is the ``Parent and Child Boccia'' project at municipal kindergartens and children's centers.This is a boccia experience session for kindergarteners and their guardians.

Now that the children who participated in the experience event have become elementary school students and felt something after watching the Paralympics, we believe it is meaningful to continue holding boccia tournaments with an eye toward the future of a cohesive society. .

At the pre-competition, I could see the children's mental growth as the participating players thought for themselves (independence) and consulted with their teammates (cooperation) as they approached the game.It was also very heart-warming to see the families enthusiastically supporting each other, regardless of friend or foe (communication between parents and children).

At the first tournament in August, we look forward to even more exciting matches, and at the same time, we would like to convey the significance of the tournament.

That was 24 years ago.At the time, I attended a meeting to watch an introductory video of a comprehensive community sports club organized by the social and physical education director of Shinjuku City, and was invited by the physical education guidance committee member (currently the sports promotion committee member).

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

Currently, as chairman, my main responsibility is to ensure the smooth operation of the council and create an environment where each sports promotion committee member can work with enthusiasm.

In addition, as a representative of the management of a local sports club established together with local staff, we provide a place for local people to enjoy sports and communicate.

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

As an independent project of the Sports Promotion Committee, we proposed a plan and established an executive committee.

Each member of the sports promotion committee monitors and follows up to ensure that they can demonstrate their abilities.

In addition, to make the event even more fulfilling, we are coordinating with sponsoring companies and arranging volunteers.

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