Before a day game in Sendai, professional baseball company Rakuten conducted an initiative to give elementary and junior high school students in the prefecture the chance to experience working at a baseball stadium.
For the past seven years, Rakuten has been offering children the opportunity to experience various jobs at the stadium as part of their lessons, in order to familiarize them with professional sports and experience the fun of baseball.
On the 14th, 300 students from four elementary and junior high schools in the prefecture began work experience from 9:30 a.m. to coincide with the game starting at 1 p.m.
Among these children, the children who took on the challenge of providing commentary on the radio were able to skillfully talk about the players and the movements of the batted ball, such as “I hit the center field” and “The fly ball was high,” while memorizing the outfield position of the ball during batting practice. I did.
They also had the opportunity to experience work such as handing out goods to visitors and clearly writing information on starting players on boards.
In addition, Rakuten has asked visitors to separate their trash and has switched to LED lighting, which consumes less power.The children gave presentations on environmentally friendly match management that they could have done themselves. and deepened my understanding.
A 6th grade elementary school girl who took on the challenge of commentary said, “It was really fun and I think I did well.In the future, I want to do something that conveys something.”
Sarasa Murakami from Rakuten, who was in charge of the work experience, said, “I want the students to understand that there are many people involved in professional baseball, not just the players.I want them to be proud that there is a professional baseball team in Tohoku-Miyagi.” I was talking.
Work experience will be held on the 15th.
