Traditional martial arts like judo and kendo are popular, as are sports imported from overseas, such as baseball and soccer (football). Many Japanese go to the sea for surfing and scuba diving in the summer, while skiing and snowboarding are popular winter pursuits. MAJOR SPORTS Baseball is one of the most popular spectator sports in Japan. There are 12 professional baseball teams, six in the Central League and six in the Pacific League. The teams in each league play about 140 games each during the season, at the end of which the two league winners meet in the Japan Series. In recent years, more and more Japanese players have been moving to the United States to play in Major League Baseball. Two of the most famous are Suzuki Ichiro and Matsui Hideki. Amateur baseball is also popular, and many schoolchildren play the game through local Little Leagues or school baseball clubs. The National High-School Baseball Championship, which is held twice a year, is fought out among schools that have survived tough qualifying rounds to represent their prefectures.

Squash Hopes dashed: The 117th IOC Session in Singapore voted to include 26 of the 28 current Olympic sports on the programme of the Games of the XXX Olympiad in 2012. The Session decided that baseball and softball will remain on the list of Olympic sports as noted in the Olympic Charter, rule 46, but will not be on the programme for 2012. The two sports are, however, eligible for inclusion in the programme of the 2016 Games. Unfortunately for us, the IOC Executive Board also decided that as the numbers would be kept to 26, none of the five candidate sports (Squash, Roller Sports, Golf, Karate or Rugby) would be added to the programme of the 2012 Games Damn! Below is the full text of the World Squash press release on the issue: Squash Looks To The Future After Olympic Disappointment Squash Looks To The Future After Olympic Disappointment Ted Wallbutton, Chief Executive of the WSF for fourteen years until his retirement at the beginning of this year, added: "Squash has come from nowhere in Olympic terms to become the first placed sport outside of the programme. It is an amazing achievement and far from failing we should be proud that we won the race, but failed to collect the prize."
