Over the years, Tsinghua University High School attaches great importance to the healthy development of students and actively explores how to improve the training level of young sports talents. Although the scale of this invitational tournament is relatively small, it creates a precedent for the campus team and the club team to compete on the same stage, which is the concrete integration of sports and education.
