This year 2021 from Hokkaido to Okinawa 114 students (as of July 3rd), SEISA schools across all over Japan participated in the national competitions such as Inter-High School Tournaments and the National Part-time Correspondence Course High School Athletic Meet etc. Although some of the students were unable to participate in the national championships, they said that they wanted to show their parents what they could do in their senior final summer year of the high school. However, there were some students who decided to challenge the competitions again.

We are proud of our top athletes who are taking on challenges beyond Japan. Some students were able to take part in sports they had always been interested in, but had never taken the step to try before. Some students said that they were able to enjoy playing sports again after transferring to a new school and being away for a while.

Both the Inter-High School Tournament and the National Part-time Correspondence Course High School Athletic Meet have their own drama and excitement.

SEISA aims to create a KYOSEI (Living Together In Harmony) society through sports for junior high school and high school students, as well as for the top athletes who are active on the world stage. Not only participating in sports, but also supporting and encouraging athletes is an important part of learning.

We hope that you will continue to support our SEISA athletes.
