On Saturday, March 16, the Keio University Athletic Association will hold the 17th Sakura Sports Festa at the Shimoda Athletic Field and Shimoda Student Village (Hiyoshi-Honcho, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama) under the theme of "Interaction between the local community and students."
The Sakura Sports Festa is an event voluntarily planned and managed by members of the five Athletic Association clubs active in the Shimoda area (Baseball, Rugby Football, Soccer, Field Hockey, and Soft Tennis) to express their daily gratitude. After being canceled in 2020 and 2021 to prevent the spread of COVID-19, held online in 2022, and canceled due to rain in 2023, this year will mark the first in-person event in five years.
The event aims to deepen the exchange between the Keio University Athletic Association and the local community through the unique medium of sports, which is characteristic of the Athletic Association, fostering a cooperative and lasting relationship and making the association more accessible to local residents.
On the day of the event, we are planning activities such as the "Shimolympics," where everyone from children to the elderly can experience the joy of sports, as well as hands-on workshops by each club and stage events by members of the local community.
We would appreciate your cooperation in announcing and covering this event.
