Junior High School Athletic Competition

From Akita Wiki

The Junior High School Athletic Competition (中学校総合体育大会; chūgakkō sōgō taiiku taikai) is an annual competition in Akita and other prefectures of Japan. It is often referred to as sports competition in English, or sōtai (総体) in Japanese. In Akita, the prefecture is divided into 9 areas, and the schools compete against each other to progress to the All-Akita competition, held in mid July (2016: July 16th - 18th).
