Kanagawa Ward 5 pointed-Sports Promotion Committee / Youth Instructor ~

　In this month's "Director General People and Town Exploration (outside site)" introduces the activities of sports promotion committees and youth instructors who run the 73rd Kanagawa Ward Boys and Girls Softball Tournament held in August.

　Sports promotion committee members are commissioned by Yokohama City for the purpose of promoting local sports and recreation, and youth instructors are commissioned by Yokohama City for the purpose of supporting youth growth in the area, and conducting various events. We have a wide range of activities on a daily basis.

　Each committee member has begun preparations for the softball tournament every April, and this time the day was postponed due to the intense heat, but it was held safely. Chairman Hitoshi Tsukahara of the Sports Promotion Committee Liaison Council and Chairman Masashi Sugawara of the Youth Instructors Council, both said, "I want children to experience success and failure through sports." When he helped with the maintenance of the ground or said, "Thank you for holding it," he was glad to be able to hold this tournament.

　We talked to both chairpersons and realized that there was support of sports promotion committee, youth instructors, and realized that children in the city were able to work on sports and events at ease. Of course, there was also support from many people in the community. Thank you very much for your time. We wanted you to support local children together in the future.
