[Team introduction]
“Enjoy & Teamwork” “Challenger”
In the 2024-2025 season, we are working with these two slogans and aiming to win the university championship (4 consecutive wins) and become a champion team. Our champion team is one that is supported and loved by those around us. To that end, we will introduce this official app, let a variety of people know about the activities of the Teikyo University Rugby Club, and work hard to become a team that people want to support.
[Reason for introducing Player! WHITE]
We decided to introduce this system to allow families and fans who always support the Teikyo University Rugby Club to feel closer to the team. We would like to disseminate information so that we can deliver match information and daily activities to those who live far away and have difficulty coming to the Teikyo University Rugby Club ground or match venue.
[Future outlook]
In order to let as many people know about our activities and support them, we would like to disseminate not only match information but also a little behind-the-scenes information. In order to win the university championship, we will update it to let you know that we are working with the awareness of becoming a champion team from the off-field part.

What Player! WHITE aims to do
In each region across Japan, not only professional sports teams but also teams in various sports and categories are active every day. Teams aiming for the professional category, teams competing in their own leagues, and student club activities at universities and high schools. These “local sports teams” involve the local community, connect with fans, and enliven the area.
However, many local sports teams do not have as much staff or funding as professional teams. We have to manage many tasks with a small number of staff members, and we have to make do with little funds, so we have to focus more on keeping the team alive than making the team stronger and winning. .
At ookami, we wanted to maximize the potential value of local sports teams so they could spend more time doing what really matters. Therefore, we propose “Player! WHITE” to local sports teams. [What Player! WHITE can do]
1. Consolidate everything in the official app! You can easily send information! 2. Increase the collection rate of fan club/OBOG membership fees! 3. Make your public relations work more efficient with useful tools! For more information on installation costs and features, please contact us below.

What is Player!?
“Bringing sports diversity to this world.”
Player! is a platform where anyone can create their favorite sport, support it, and get excited about it.
Player! proposes a lifestyle that includes “my sports” rather than “mass sports.”
It’s like finding a city you like, living there, falling in love with it, and contributing to making it more fun. As for sports, it would be fun if you could find your own favorite sport, fall in love with that sport, and contribute to making that sport more popular. Player! creates a world where everyone can create their own favorite sport, support it, and have fun. Bringing sports diversity to this world. →Player! Official website: https://bit.ly/3g8lSH5
