Koumori kouchou sensei proudly showing me Kamitonda JHS monument to their baseball team which won the regional championship 3 years ago. There is a similar one won 2 years ago as well.
Sports are taken very seriously. Every afternoon students stay back after school and train from 3.30 to 5.30.
Every student must play a sport. The training sessions are typically run by the captain of the team and the training is full on. The captains take on extra responsibility in the school. The boys baseball and girls volleyball captains stand at the gate welcoming students to the school in the morning with the principal and they are treated with a high level of respect. Hard to believe these are middle school students!
