"Let's energize Japan through basketball!"
These words express the smiles that have been born through basketball, regardless of age or gender.
It is filled with the desire to bring vitality to Japan.

Through basketball, I want to teach children the joy of playing with a ball and the joy of moving their bodies.
We also want to create a daily life where adults can smile when they see children having fun.
With this in mind, we will be holding the "My First Basketball Challenge" and "Kids & Exercise" events.
