Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced that the "Songpa Youth Sports Survival" tournament will be held at Songpa Women's Soccer Stadium from 2 PM on October 14.

The district planned this new concept leisure sports tournament to support various outdoor activities for local youth whose opportunities for outdoor activities have decreased, aiming for a safe and enjoyable experience.

This tournament is a survival game using laser tag guns. Players hide behind makeshift cover and shoot laser guns to hit sensors attached to the opponent's vest to score points. The laser tag guns use harmless infrared lasers instead of BB pellets or other projectiles, allowing participants to enjoy the game safely without risk of injury.

The competition will be conducted in a league format with 8 teams, each consisting of 16 youths from 5th grade elementary to 2nd grade middle school students. Four teams will advance to the final tournament, where the championship and 3rd/4th place matches will be held.

The district expects participants to have a fun and beneficial time improving physical fitness through various activities such as chasing, hiding, and seeking on the green turf field of Songpa Women's Soccer Stadium, while enhancing teamwork and bonding among peers.

Additionally, new sports games that can be freely enjoyed in a wide space will be held, including ▲ ‘Ballovol’ where the team that scores the most balls on poles wins, ▲ ‘Disc Golf’ where flying discs are put into golf holes instead of golf balls, and ▲ ‘Snag Golf,’ which simplifies the rules and courses of traditional golf for easy and fun access.

Moreover, various experiential events such as ▲ laser shooting practice range, ▲ photo booth, ▲ face painting, and ▲ SNS events are also prepared.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “I hope that the youth, whose outdoor activities have greatly decreased, will freely run and play through this tournament, experience new activities, and have a healing time. We will not spare investment and support for youth by discovering and hosting various youth events beyond this sports tournament.”
