Other JSA Projects
|
At present, there are 12,068 coaches in Japan that are officially recognized by the Japan Sports Council. Standards are closely supervised by each JSA Prefectural Association throughout Japan. Every February, as part of the Central Coaching Training Project, the JSA holds its annual seminar to ensure the coaches maintains their high standards.
Only teams with a Japan Sports Council recognized coach on board are allowed to participate in nationally held competitions and championships.
For future generations of softball players, resources are placed in Scouting and Youth Coaching schemes, with The National Womens Junior Player Training seminar being held every November. Ten young players are selected as prospective starts for the future, and coaching sessions with Japan`s best coaches are provided. A great many techniques, training methods, their core theories as well as advice on nutrition are passed on to these young starlets. Furthermore, each year, a group of players with experience of the Olympic Games make up “The Softball Forum”. This group travels through Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Hoku Shinetsu, Tokai, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu (the nine major regions of Japan), lecturing and generally promoting the sport to junior softball players so that they can enjoy the sport more fully and then go on to maintain the high standards hitherto attained by players from these shores.
