In co-operation with the Japanese manufacturer Tamasu/Butterfly, players at the age of 11 and 12 are promoted. The program started in 2009. Over a period of three years, Tamasu/Butterfly will invest approximately US$ 55,000 per year to support the identification, selection and operation of a World Team composed by talents from all over the globe.
