This semester, I had the opportunity to play basketball at the Kyotanabe campus with Doshisha’s basketball circle intensity. This club had practice about 3 times a week, during which the entire duration is provided for playing full court or shooting around.<\/p>\n
The circle is really welcoming, with the members always inviting to play with them, regardless of the games; however, at times, it is good to try and be more vocal and set up a game yourself. I was able to join this CIP with a fellow KCJS member, Umi (pictured), which allowed for much smoother interactions, especially when talking after practices.<\/p>\n
My advice to incoming KCJS students is never be afraid to try new things or meet new people, especially when language barriers can be a bit daunting. This experience taught me a lot not only about Japanese culture but also about Basketball culture around the world, which was really interesting to see firsthand!<\/p>\n
