UKCC, Instructor Award and Coach Education Update – Spotlight on "Shape Up For Success”: Judo Fitness Award (Dermot Heslop, Technical Officer – Yorkshire and Humberside)

The BJA ‘Judo Fitness Award’ is being developed as part of our Shape Up For Success initiative. Judo is a very demanding sport which requires a player to develop various physical attributes in order to perform to their potential (recreational or competitive). This award will endeavour to work with coaches/instructors to raise the standards of the judo player in their care physically, to help them avoid unnecessary injury and enable them to practise or compete optimally at their particular level.

11.45am Session Two

Case Study: “Convincing your University to Invest In Sport – The Development of a Judo Programme at Anglia Ruskin University: The Past, the Present and the Future” (Bob Challis, Anglia Ruskin University JC Head Coach, Lecturer in Sports coaching, European Judo Union Level 5 high performance coach, British Schools commission member and EJU judo knowledge commission member)

Case Study: How to run a University Judo Club – A Student Perspective (Sophie Cox, Warwick University Judo Club Chairman & Thomas Grandjean, WUJC Head Coach, and Peter White, University of Sheffield Judo Club Captain)

Between the University of Warwick Judo Club and the University of Sheffield of Judo Club, the British Judo Association ammasses in excess of 100 eager student members. Both clubs have now been well established as strongholds within University Judo for many years, and both enjoy a year-on-year growth to their already impressive memberships. From hosting their respective annual University Judo Competitions, attracting hundreds of student Judokas from all over the UK and beyond, to achieveing capacity women only and beginner sessions, University Judo has a lot to learn from these highly proactive and respectable clubs.
