Strengthening the Partnership to Support the Next Decade of SV.LEAGUE WOMEN's "Victorina Himeji": Starting with Support for the U15 Team, Collaborating on DX for Regional Club Activities

Climb Factory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "the Company"), which develops "Atleta," a platform that supports athlete data management and team communication, has agreed to strengthen its partnership with "Victorina Himeji" (operated by Himeji Victorina Co., Ltd.), a member of SV.LEAGUE WOMEN.

Although our company was established as a new entity in 2024, our roots date back to 2009, and we have consistently provided ICT tools based on athlete databases. We have served as a supply partner for Victorina Himeji since its inception in 2017, providing multifaceted support for the top team's conditioning and nutritional management. The Kansai University of Welfare Sciences volleyball team, a designated U23 team, also utilizes Atleta.

This partnership was formed because our company's vision—restarted following a business succession in 2024 as a "service for those who support sports"—deeply resonates with the academy business of Victorina Himeji. As the team celebrates its 10th anniversary, it is looking toward the next decade with a focus on regional revitalization through volleyball and the healthy development of children.

[Initiatives of this Partnership]

・Continued support for remote nutritional guidance via "Atleta" for the "Top Team" We will continue to provide Atleta as a tool for online nutritional guidance by registered dietitians, a service the top team has utilized for many years through dietitians dispatched by our partner company.

・Commencement of "Atleta" provision for "Victorina Himeji U15" We will provide a condition recording and analysis environment that can be completed entirely on a smartphone to this development team, which aims to produce future professionals. This will support appropriate load management and autonomous physical development for middle school-aged athletes. Atleta will support the construction of a consistent coaching system from development levels to the top team.

・Discussions and information exchange for supporting the regional club activity initiative "Hime-Katsu" We believe that by connecting athletes, coaches, and experts under a single online platform via Atleta and properly organizing information, we can contribute to a system where athletes can engage in activities to improve their performance while receiving online support, regardless of where they live or where their base of operations is located.

By working with Victorina Himeji, which is actively supporting "Hime-Katsu" (a project by Himeji City to transition school club activities to the community), and considering the utilization and functional expansion of Atleta, we see the potential to create a model case for the region, rather than just improving efficiency and digitizing activities for a single team. We will work together in this area as well.

Moving forward, our company will realize optimal support through data and technology across the entire pyramid of "strengthening, development, and popularization" envisioned by Victorina Himeji.
