TOKYO UNITE, a collaborative project of 15 Tokyo-based sports teams and organizations, will hold the "Shibuya City Throwing x Multisport Challenge in Shibuya City Sports Center" event on October 13 (national holiday) at the Shibuya City Sports Center to experience multisport and develop throwing ability. The event will be held at the Shibuya Ward Sports Center on October 13 (national holiday).
In Tokyo, there are few parks and playgrounds where children can throw a ball, and the decline in children's throwing ability has become an issue. This is the second time that the program is being held in conjunction with Shibuya Ward to address this issue. The purpose of this event is to improve children's throwing ability by having them experience four different sports (baseball, handball, badminton, and American football) with coaches from professional teams.

The following four types of sports experience corners will be set up. Participants can visit all the corners in turn.
(1) Baseball Experience (Catching the ball) (by: Yomiuri Giants and Tokyo Yakult Swallows): Participants learn with Academy coaches how to throw the ball at close range so that the opponent can easily catch it.
(2) Handball experience (staff: Siegster Tokyo): Learn how to make the ball fly a long way.
(3) Badminton Experience (by: NTT East Badminton Club): Since the movement of a badminton smash is similar to the movement of a throw, baseball players also incorporate it into their training Let's experience badminton with the NTT East Badminton Club.
(4) American football experience (by the University of Tokyo Athletic Association American Football Club WARRIORS): An oval-shaped football cannot fly properly if thrown incorrectly. An alumnus of the University of Tokyo football team will guide you through the motion of throwing using your shoulders and whole body.
