JUDO: Northland (NLD) Spring Trifecta 2012

We have put together THREE judo events to help our youth apply what they are learning at judo practice and to feel comfortable competing in judo tournaments.  This is also a GREAT way for students to get tournament points for their next belt ranking.

Save the dates now...We are hoping for 100% participation!!! And, please feel free to invite family and friends to see your little "judokas" compete at these events!

This event will be held to help our judo players (and parents) get used to the tournament environment. IT will be restricted to our NLD team only and the size should help the kids feel comfortable.


We will hire refs, arrange for table workers, do weigh-ins during Thursday night practice, and have brackets with the mat set-up on the big court.  Since this tournament is for NLD judokas only we will not hand out medals. Each child will receive a spirit wear t-shirt to wear to future tournaments to "represent" our club!

This event will help our judo players in competing against judokas from other clubs.  We will invite one other club to bring their youth team to compete against our kids! 

Our goal is to ease our judokas into competing.  By inviting one club we hope the children will not be overwhelmed.  Since we are still slowly trying to build our judokas comfort level and build excitement about tournaments everyone that competes in the dual will be awarded a participation medal.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COMING SOON.
