A funny athletes’ oath to liven up the start of the sports day

We swear! There’s only one thing we want to say: “We want to shine at the sports festival and be popular!”

If it’s an all-boys school with absolutely no girls, a declaration built around “I want to shine at the sports festival and get popular!” will be an even bigger hit.

For a boys’ school, something like: “We pledge to compete fairly and squarely under the harsh conditions of having not a single girl around—unless you count our 65-year-old health teacher Ms.

So-and-so!” Then flesh it out with the idea of “giving it our all even though there are no girls.” For a co-ed school, go with: “We pledge to do whatever it takes—gritty, sneaky, whatever—to hog all the spotlight, rack up achievements, and become insanely popular with the girls!” Be sure to pack in lots of cheeky, unashamedly underhanded phrases!

We pledge to compete with all our might, undaunted by the looming fear of muscle soreness that will surely arrive the day after the day after the sports festival!

When you give it your all at a sports day, what hits you afterward is muscle soreness.

Of course, nobody likes it, but if you worry about it, you can’t really enjoy the event.

That’s the message behind the phrase: “We pledge to compete with full effort, not fearing the muscle soreness that will likely hit the day after the day after the sports day!” By the way, they say the older you get, the later muscle soreness sets in.

It varies by person, of course, so changing it to “the next day” is fine too.

I’m not as good as you are, but I’m grateful to [Name] who always practices with me, and I vow to give it my all in battle!

It’s a fun athletes’ oath that adds an extra little remark to an otherwise straightforward show of enthusiasm for the event.

It’s standard to express gratitude to those who supported you up to the big day, but it can feel embarrassing, right? If, before thanking the person who practiced with you, you slip in an extra line like “even though you’re worse than me,” you can get a laugh from the crowd while keeping your thanks lighthearted.

And if the person you called clumsy fires back with a big retort, the atmosphere will get even more lively.

Using yesterday’s heartbreak as a springboard, I’m taking on today’s sports day!

There are all sorts of episodes leading up to the big day, and they aren’t always good ones.

These words express a resolve to look back on even the tough memories among those experiences and turn them into the strength to give everything in the main event.

What’s being asserted here is a strong determination to draw power from anything—including things that seem unrelated to the competition, like a breakup the day before.

The fact that the heartbreak happened on the eve of the event is a key point; it introduces a hint of doubt about whether the person has really switched gears, which also adds a comedic touch.

I’ll give it my all when I fall and when I slip! I promise to entertain you all!

At sports festivals, it’s easy to focus on winning and losing, but even if you lose, giving it your all can actually lead to a real sense of fulfillment.

These words boldly declare the intention to go all out and call on everyone to create a fun, shared space together.

They convey, in a positive way, that always giving your best—not only in success but also in failure—is what truly leads to enjoyment.

You can also feel a sense of kindness in the idea that everyone else’s enjoyment is, in itself, a source of one’s own joy.

I pledge to tidy up my appearance so I won’t get scolded by Mr./Ms. 〇〇, and to do my very best so that Mr./Ms. 〇〇 will cheer me on!

Is Mr./Ms.

〇〇 the homeroom teacher? This is an athlete’s oath that really conveys the students’ love for their teacher and their desire to show them their best.

We want to win the championship as a gift to the teacher who always stays close to the students and cheers them on! If your class feels the same way, definitely try this idea.

Even if you lose, that sentiment will surely reach the teacher, and it will make their cheering even more heartfelt.

While the sports day is centered on the students, teachers’ support is indispensable.

This athlete’s oath is also recommended as a way to express your gratitude.

I vow to fight with an Instagram-worthy face no matter when or from where the photo is taken!

Big events always come with photo ops, and of course we want to look our best to preserve our memories beautifully.

Here’s a speech that straightforwardly expresses that ideal—and a high level of awareness—about sports day photos.

You can feel a strong determination in the words promising to maintain an Instagram-worthy look no matter the angle of the shot.

The humor comes from how the speech is composed entirely of high expectations for the photos, without expressing any feelings about the competition itself.
