Participants and players worked together to toss balls into a basket held by the players. Manager Iwasama also joined in and enjoyed interacting with everyone.

The red and white teams were each divided into two groups for large rope skipping. Some groups recorded over 30 jumps, and the stadium was filled with applause.
＜Event 3: Borrowing Race＞
Participants borrowed goods worn by designated players and aimed for the goal in a three-legged race. The borrowed goods were given to the participants as gifts.
＜Event 4: Big Ball Relay＞
Participants and players worked together to relay a large ball. There were many scenes where participants and players discussed how to move the large ball faster.
＜Event 5: Tug-of-War＞
Participants and players combined their strength in a tug-of-war. Yuma of the Red Team and Misao of the White Team, who did not participate in this event, offered detailed advice on how to pull the rope, making it a true test of strength.
＜Event 6: Obstacle Race＞
After overcoming obstacles, participants exchanged passes with players who had spun around with a dizzy bat. Both participants and players gave their all in the competition.
The "Antlers Sports Day" concluded with a victory for the Red Team.

We received a truly overwhelming number of donations for this crowdfunding project, "Everyone for the Future of Antlers 2022." And to everyone who participated in the "Antlers Sports Day," thank you very much.
