SHAPE Partners has sponsored the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks Junior Team (for elementary school students in the 5th and 6th grades; hereinafter referred to as "Hawks Junior").

The Hawks Junior team is formed with the goal of winning the "NPB 12-Team Junior Tournament," which is held at the end of the year for 5th and 6th-grade elementary school students. The team is led by former SoftBank Hawks players serving as the manager and coaches.

The "NPB 12-Team Junior Tournament" was planned and established by NPB and the 12 professional baseball teams to help children feel a closer connection to the "dream of becoming a professional baseball player."

SoftBank Hawks actively promotes baseball in the Kyushu region and surrounding areas and provides a stage where children can challenge themselves with a higher level of baseball. They are committed to increasing the number of children who feel inspired to "become a professional baseball player."

Through SHAPE Partners' initiatives in the sports and baseball domain, we were given this opportunity and have decided to sponsor the Hawks Junior team.
