Rugby in Japan
Week 5
Top League was established in 2003. Now, there are more than 2000 teams in Japan. In Kantou area, there are nearly 200 college teams, about 550 high school teams, about 100 teams and over 500 club teams. These teams are registered with Japan Rugby Football association. The number of club teams is not larger than high school teams, but the number of rugby players is the largest of all. The ability of the club teams improved. The rugby championships of each area are substantial. A national championship for club teams was started in 1993. The representative of the club team can participate in a championship in Japan. This was started in 2003. One of the characteristics of club teams is that they settle in their hometowns. Here, I want to introduce main activities of club teams. They assume a league match a place of the charity and do donation activity. Some teams in the same league jointly hold an event and contribute to the area. They make their own team as lifelong sport. They hold courses of lectures for elementary school and junior high school students and hold clinics for high school students. If the teams have something in reserve, they establish and support their youth team and senior team. In addition, they do working on blood donation, tree planting and other volunteer activity

Now, many club teams in Japan have been making an effort. Many high school and junior high school in Japan do not have a rugby team. So students cannot play rugby near themself. Club teams can provide environment with rugby for children. Many club teams lay emphasis on instruction of children. We can say that the club teams take important role in future rugby society.
By the way, do you know the club team near yourself? For example, I take my case. I am an University of Tsukuba student. Indeed, there is a club team in Tsukuba city. The team practice at rugby ground of University of Tsukuba every week. The team's name is TSUKUBARIANS. Many people belong to this team. The youngest player is 2 years old. The oldest player is over 60 years. This team has kindergarten children, elementary school children, junior high school students and workers. Of course, this team is strong. In the past, this team have become an East Japan champion. Speaking confidentially, I have been belonging to TSUKUBARIANS for ten years. If you are interested in rugby and find a rugby club near yourself, you had better go there and take a look them.
