Kosotai
Coming up this weekend is the Kosotai (inter-high school sports competition). It is the biggest competitive/athletic event of the school year. For the 3rd year high school students, it will be the last game that they participate in before retiring. From June till the end of the school year in February, they will no longer be part of any sport activities, but will spend all their time studying for the university entrance exams.
All the high schools in the Nagasaki prefecture will take part in this competition. The location for the different sporting events is spread all across the prefecture. All the teachers and students are expected to attend one of the events to cheer for the students.
The opening ceremony for the event will be held on Friday, and the games will run through until the following week. There’s a lot of preparation required for attending these games. The level of play is unbelievably high. This year, the boy’s volleyball games will be held at Seiryo high school!
Classes were cancelled this afternoon because there was a pep rally that was held for the students who will be participating in the Kosotai. Each sports team marched into the auditorium with the captain holding high the Seiryo flag, while the rest of the teachers and the rest of the student body clapped. Each team took turns going on stage, introducing themselves and saying something about what they expect to achieve at the Kosotai (basically, they all said 'we will gambarimasu!')
Here's the volleyball team who I'll be cheering for tomorrow.

Seiryo is known for its strong kendo club. Every year, Seiryo's kendo team comes in first in the Nagasaki prefecture. I'll be going to see them play on Monday during the finals.
