I started to play Sepak Takraw last year, and challanged official games for the first time in December. Now, I am going to try a big tournament in Niigata prefecture this weekend. For me, Niigata was the place for skiing, not Sepak Takraw, but I knew the tournament is held every year there. I and four friends will participate in it.
Last weekend, We jined a practice of one of the biggest Sepak Takraw team in Tokyo, Ooyama Sepak Takraw Club. The club has a long history, and its level is high. Because we thought we have to experience a high level training before the tournament, we played with them.
As you can easily imagine, because the sport is very minor, they don't have enough money to manage their team. So, they use a small gymnasium of an elementary school for their training. On the other hand, our Atusgi team always use a big company's gymnasium for our practice. Training atomosphere seem to be beteer in Atsugi.
But, of course, the club's training level was high. It was a great experience for us.
To be honest, I am not an athlete type person. Only Sepak Takraw is not my aim to go to Niigata. Niigata has a very large rice field, and clean water. Yes. They are the two main components of Japanese Sake. That's why there are so many kinds of Sake in Niigata. Thus, I will drink Sake every night there. On the last day of the tournament, a big party is goimg to be arranged by Niigata people. I am looking forward to it.
