Sports Boys' National Exchange Tournament "Continued for the time being while improving management" Tournament has been criticized as having the tendency to lead to inappropriate guidance for children due to a focus on victory. The Japan Sports Club was established in 1962 with the aim of nurturing young people through sports, and has approximately 540,000 registered children, mainly elementary school students aged 3 and over.
Naomi Mashiko, head of the Japan Sports club, said, ``Adults should not take away the opportunities for children to interact in sports.''
