Connor's April Blog Post
Connor here,
The Start of April saw the end of my spring holidays and the start of my third and final school year at Seiritsu. It is quite surprising that 2 years have already passed as it feels like I've only been in Japan for a few months.
April also saw the weather turn from cold to hot fairly quickly and it came as an unwanted reminder about the hot and humid summer months awaiting us. The start of the warmer weather coincided with our preparations for Inter-high tournament qualification.
The Inter High tournament is a knockout competition for many of the sports run at high school level. It is held at the start of August and it involves the best schools from each prefecture around the country, who must first qualify as representatives for their sport in their local eliminations. In the world of high school soccer it is seen as the second biggest tournament, with the Winter tournament being the most prestigious.
Bye!
