What is #Never Stop Playing Sports?
The original movement “#Never Stop Playing Rugby” was founded by NOZAWA Takeshi and HIROSE Toshiro, former members of Japan National Rugby Team. When many matches and tournaments became canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, high school players lost their chances to showcase their performance for future recruitment. The movement aimed to provide alternative opportunities for students despite the absence of tournaments.
Several high school students began updating videos of their performance on Twitter with a hashtag of the movement name. They were retweeted by famous players, rugby fans, as well as other stakeholders, in order to facilitate their university application. The movement, supported by the media, quickly went viral, and as a result, several players were accepted to play for universities or a top league.
The initiative that began with two sports, rugby and basketball, was soon adopted by other sports, such as handball and judo, and became a more universal “Never Stop Playing Sports” movement.
The company “Never Stop Playing Sports” was established to promote and develop the movement more permanently.
The movement led by Kana Oyama, a former Japanese national team player, and Saegusa, a professional volleyball instructor. Many players post their play and comment on each other, and it is spreading with a fun atmosphere.
