Samurai Japan 15U National Team inauguration party held
7/26/2014
On the 25th, Manager Katori, the coaches and the Samurai Japan 15U National Team gathered for training camp in Japan and held an inauguration ceremony.
Comments from Manager Katori
The 15U Japan National Team was chosen from all the hardball leagues and is one of eight categories that includes the Top Team, Amateur, 21U, Collegiate, 18U, 12U and Women. The keywords of Samurai Japan are "Best in the World." Let's aim to make that a reality. Also, all 20 players are regulars and I want them to fight confidently out in the big wide world. Further, I want the players who have competed in international tournaments to keep up the good work in every age category. Finally, to the families of the players, thank you for coming here today. While taking part in an international tournament we will help the twenty players grow considerably and you should look forward to that result on their return. I would like to thank you families members more than anyone else for all you've done. With those feelings in mind we will fight on.
Comments from Coach Kimura
As a coach, I'll support you in any way I can so let's talk more and more. We're going to win!
Comments from Ito
I want to talk with you players so if you have any problems be sure to come straight to me for a chat.
Let's become number one in the world together.
