Miyazakids Judo Club and Their Crowdfunding Campaign

The Miyazakids Judo Club, based in Ayacho, Miyazaki Prefecture, is embarking on an exciting journey to elevate their team's training conditions through a crowdfunding initiative titled "The Challenge for Number One! #Miyazakids Revitalizes Judo". Managed by Spportunity, a Tokyo-based sports crowdfunding platform, this campaign is designed to foster the growth of young athletes dedicated to the art of judo.

Background of the Campaign

According to Masahiko Otaka, the representative of Miyazakids, the club has already seen notable achievements, including a championship win at the Kyushu Junior High School Sports Festival's men's team division last summer and a commendable performance, reaching the top 16 at the national junior high school championships. However, to chase their goal of becoming the best in Japan, a supportive training environment is essential.

Remote training and costs associated with travel for competitions, training camps, and daily expenses are mounting, especially given the rise in living costs affecting food and equipment prices. As a result, some young athletes find themselves in precarious situations where they have to abandon their dreams due to financial burdens.

In light of these challenges, the crowdfunding effort aims to create a supportive atmosphere where children can fully dedicate themselves to judo without the constant worry about expenses. Miyazakids is reaching out to the wider community for support, emphasizing that every contribution can significantly impact the dreams of these aspiring judokas.
