Takanoren seeks to hold their own tournament in each region Summer high school baseball is canceled May 21 at 6:02
In response to the cancellation of summer high school baseball in Japan, Takanoren from various regions will seek to hold their own tournaments in order to prepare a venue for third-year baseball clubs to culminate.
Japan's Takanoren and others also stopped the local tournament as a qualifying in conjunction with the cancellation of summer high school baseball on the 20th, and it will be up to the Takanoren in each region to decide whether or not to hold a prefectural original tournament in the future. It was.
In response to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, some Koyaren have been studying to hold the tournament as the final official game of high school life in case the summer Koshien was canceled. ..
Among them, there is a plan to hold the tournament on Saturdays and Sundays from July to August assuming that it will not be necessary to decide the representative school due to the suspension of Koshien in the summer, and not all tournaments but all participating schools play one game. The idea is to just fight.
However, in order to prevent heat stroke and injury, it is necessary to have a practice period of about one month, and there is an opinion that holding the tournament will be difficult unless club activities are resumed.
In addition, there are various issues such as when the tournament is held with no audience, the admission revenue, which is the financial source of the operation, is lost.
Given these circumstances, it seems likely that the Takaya Federation of Japan will accelerate its efforts to hold its own tournaments with the policy of providing financial support and management advice.
