Yorkshire & Humberside Judo

You may be aware that the EJU held a seminar in Malaga in January where further changes to the IJF contest rules were proposed.
 
We are just waiting for the BJA Board of Directors to approve the changes and the new rules will then be applied in BJA Competitions.
 
It's important that Referees, Coaches and Players are fully aware of the changes and what rules will be applied in 2014 before they are introduced.
 
To pass on this information, a short workshop has been arranged on Sunday 16th February at
 
Mirarmar Judo Club
The New Eastwood View
Fitzwilliam Road
Rotherham
S65 1LY
 
All Y & H Referees and Coaches are invited to attend free of charge. Casual dress is acceptable - you will not need judogis or refereeing uniform! Just bring a notepad and pen.
 
The Workshop will start at 1.30pm prompt and finish about 3.30pm. Please ensure you arrive in good time.
 
If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to contact me.

At the weekend we had a number of players from our teams get together for a training session at Pudsey club led by Caroline Brayson.

We got the team t-shirts sized up.

Players did some drills, randori and games. Some discussion of rules.

Great to see players putting in the work ahead of the national teams.

It's coming together!
