Admin’s Note

I think Coach Fujikawa’s request for players to wear shorts reflects a wonderful emphasis on their comfort. Especially with the hot season approaching, this suggestion is an important decision that directly impacts the players’ performance. Balancing tradition while embracing necessary changes for the times will surely contribute to the team’s growth. Creating an environment where players can practice comfortably is also part of the coach’s role.
