STORIES OF TRUE INCLUSION
Discover how our tailored programs are changing lives, enhancing wellbeing, and fostering a sense of belonging.
"Takkyu Volley should not be treated merely as a sport for people with disabilities, but as a sport for everyone. It is a sport with unparalleled inclusive reach and allows interaction between people without disabilities and people with diverse disabilities, as well as the participation of those with severe disabilities."
Yuji Horikawa.
(President of the Japan Takkyu Volley Federation; Faculty of Education, Hirosaki University)
"In our study with people with visual impairment, Takkyu Volley contributed to cognitive functions, such as spatial-body perception, temporality, sequencing, numeration, and intensity differentiation (weaker, stronger). Participants showed significant gains in self-esteem, motivation, and self-confidence, as well as a greater sense of belonging. Social interaction, respect for differences, and cooperation, created an inclusive environment that fostered the strengthening of emotional bonds and combated social isolation."
Marcelo Inagaki.

"I participated in the Takkyu Volley sessions promoted by Kaiser in a disability supportive care facility. I found Takkyu Volley fun, aggregating, and challenging in just the right measure."
David Myers.
