Judo After Schools Programme

The girls enjoy the weekly Judo sessions with Danny our coach. Each week a player of the week is chosen who has demonstrated hard work, focus, good technique and skill. There is an opportunity to attend competitions and many of our girls have been awarded trophies for their efforts. The girls are moving up the gradings and earning new belts.
