Summer nationwide high school baseball canceled Aichi Prefecture Takanoren To start its own competition on July 4th May 21 17:56
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the summer high school baseball was canceled, and the Aichi Prefectural High School Baseball Federation will hold the prefecture's own tournament, which will be the culmination of the third year students, as early as July 4th. We have solidified our policy to open.
Japan's Takanoren and others also stopped the local tournament as a qualifying on the 20th in conjunction with the cancellation of the national high school baseball in the summer, and it was up to the Takanoren in each region to decide whether to hold a prefectural original tournament in the future. .
Against this backdrop, Takanoren, Aichi Prefecture, is aiming to create an opportunity for an official match for third-year students, and is making adjustments with the aim of holding a prefecture-specific tournament, but solidifying the policy to start on July 4 at the earliest, I understood from interviews with related parties.
In order to reduce the risk of infection caused by the movement of athletes, the competition will first be held in each stadium in each district, and then the teams that have won will be considered to win the championship.
As a general rule, we plan to play the game on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays so that it will not interfere with schooling, and we hope to finish it by the beginning of August.
The Aichi Prefectural Takanoren will officially decide to hold the tournament at the Steering Committee on the 5th of next month while coordinating specific infection control measures in the future and in cooperation with the Japan Takanoren.
In response to NHK's interview, Vice Chairman Nobutsuru Tsuruta of Takanoren, Aichi Prefecture said, "I want you to grow significantly in the future by not only being a break for third graders but also having the experience of playing baseball in this adversity." I was talking. "
