Japan League Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Okinawa City, Okinawa Prefecture, President: Issei Washizaki) announced today, July 1, 2026, the launch of a crowdfunding campaign on the crowdfunding service "CAMPFIRE" for the "JAPAN SUMMER LEAGUE (JSL) 2026," a baseball league for third-year high school students whose regional tournaments for the National High School Baseball Championship have concluded. The target amount is 2 million yen (All-In method). We appreciate your generous support. What is JAPAN SUMMER LEAGUE? JAPAN SUMMER LEAGUE is a baseball league held for third-year high school students after their summer regional tournaments. Out of approximately 4,000 high school baseball teams nationwide, only 49 schools can advance to Koshien. The reality is that nearly 99% of ballplayers finish their three years without ever stepping onto the dream stage. With the concept of "Shining a light on places that don't see the sun," we provide a "stage where those who can't give up can compete seriously once more," and in addition to mere games, we also implement a curriculum to consider skills development, future paths, and careers. In its inaugural year in 2025, 37 players from across the country participated and spent their final summer to the fullest.
