Skateboarding and freestyle basketball workshops are also held
Future Design Shibuya, a general incorporated association, aims to promote street sports and raise awareness of manners, and is planning a street sports project `` NEXT GENERATIONS'' in which young people including Shibuya residents can actively participate, together with companies and organizations related to Shibuya 2018. Launched in the year. Appeared at "Tokyo Snow Festival SNOWBANK PAY IT FORWARD x HEROs FESTA 2019" held at Yoyogi Park from Saturday, November 9th to Sunday, November 10th, Kendama competition, skateboarding and freestyle basketball work We held a shop.
Kendama, which has been popular in Japan for a long time, has been updated to freestyle in recent years and reimported. Not only are there many enthusiasts across generations, but the world competition is being held where players show off their splendid tricks and compete for their skills. At "NEXT GENERATIONS", a Kendama competition for U-15 (junior high school students and younger) will be held. In the bustle of "Tokyo Snow Festival SNOWBANK PAY IT FORWARD x HEROs FESTA 2019" which mobilized about 80,000 people in two days, two invited players and six kendama players who won the qualifying on the day are the world's top. We competed for a technique called level.
Eight kendama players who advanced to the final tournament
Shinnosuke Togo (5th grade), also known as SHINNOSUKE, who is one of the invited players and has won numerous tournaments, won the tournament-style heated battle. Along with the medal, he was awarded the right to participate in the final tournament of the world championship "Catch & Flow" to be held in Tokyo in December. "I was very happy to win today. I will do my best to win the Catch & Flow." I was renewing my determination.

Skateboarding, which became an official event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, is a sport in which the activities of Japanese athletes are remarkably attracting attention. On the other hand, there are still many voices saying that they do not know where to learn and that there is no place to play in the neighborhood. A simple section that even beginners can enjoy and a skateboarding workshop with support staff was crowded with over 250 participants in two days.
Freestyle basketball, with no goals or rules, is, as the name implies, a sport where you can freely use basketball to perform tricks. We also held a workshop where you can enjoy freestyle basketball, which is popular in various styles such as battle formats such as 1 on 1 and showcases. Children who were nailed to the showcases of ZiNEZ aka Kamikaze and Kengo, who are active in the world, participated one after another. I challenged a technique that is a little different from the usual ball play.
