Rugby in Japan
Week 9
The Top League is a professional league of the rugby. Of course, there is amateur league of the rugby in Japan. It is so called the league of the member of society. Many club teams belong to this league. For example, Tsukubarians. You may think that this team is in Tsukuba. Members of this team practice every week at rugby ground of University of Tsukuba. I am a student of University of Tsukuba, so I can take a look at practice of this team. Indeed, I belonged to this team. Here, I want to introduce Tsukubarians. In 1977, University of Tsukuba rugby club alumnus played a key role and established a team. There are members more than 200 from an infant to a member of society in this club. The team has about 20 team sponsors. In results, the team won the East Japan club championship once and is always in the high rank of East Japan Top club league. I can say that this team is strong.
Moreover, this team manages closely rooted to the local community. Professional team of the Top League aim at making a team of the local community too. But players of these teams must training every day, so they con not have much time with the local people. There are many cases that these players gather from various areas. On the other hand, players of amateur teams work weekdays and practice on Saturday and Sunday. And players of these teams gather from the area which the team is. Necessarily, the team and the local connection become strong. I think that this is a good point of amateur teams.
In Japan, most of the rugby players of the elementary schoolchild belong to club team. Elementary schools in Japan don't have own team of rugby. Public elementary schools never have a team. Many schools have own soccer team, so children are able to join the club team willingly and easily. Even if there is a rugby club team near, children don't know that. When it is worse, some children don't know what rugby is at all. In fact, there were such children when I was in elementary school. But they knew that through myself. In what kind of method, it is good that rugby is recognized among people. In 2019, World Cup will be held in Japan. I want all Japanese to know about rugby at least by 2019.
