Sports Support Activities Outside Sports Centers
Local Contribution and Dispatch of Instructors

The sports centers in Yokohama City are committed not just to running their facilities but to promoting sports in their respective wards.
At the request of ward offices and local communities, officials of the sports centers are dispatched to places outside the center facilities where they provide instructions and advice to promote sports among local citizens. In addition, the “Sawayaka sports equipment rental program” is in place for ground golf, dodgebee and so on.
The sports centers also welcome local citizens who seek consultation on sports activities in local communities.

The Okurayama Area Council of Social Welfare hosts the “Futo-okko Plaza,” where Mr. Tadao Horikawa, Director of the Kohoku Sports Center, leads an exercise program intended for prekindergarten children aged 1 or older and their parents.

The sports centers host the Sawayaka sports equipment rental program, which is also useful for ringtoss and other games at local community events. The types of equipment available for rental vary for each sports center. For details, contact your local sports center.

Fitness activity promoters help local citizens get healthy and stay fit. Ms. Ai Bito, Director of the Tsurumi Sports Center, gives lectures and practical skill training on walking to fitness activity promoters in charge of Tsurumi Ward.
