Make Payment Now: 




Location: Parkville Athletic Complex (PAC)
Competition:  Saturday, April 21st, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Why Participate?
This event is being held to help our judo players (and parents) get used to a tournament environment.  It is restricted to our NLD team only so the size and familiarity should make the kids feel comfortable.

It will be especially helpful to our new judokas and any students that missed the previous Tuesday night scrimmages.  The children will learn how to bow properly on and off the mats, how to greet their opponent, and become familiar with judo tournament terminology (i.e. gi, hajime, matte, ippon, waza ari, etc).

The scrimmage will take place on the big court in front of the judo office. And, we will hire refs, arrange for table workers, and do weigh-ins during practices the week of the event. We are hoping to make the scrimmage feel as much like a full tournament as possible for the students.

Why is there a fee?
Since this tournament is for NLD judokas only, we will not hand out medals instead each child will receive one of our NEW spirit wear t-shirts (design shown below) to wear to future tournaments to "represent" our club!

Additional Questions?
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns...You can talk to one of the coaches after practice, one of the judo moms, or email questions to nldjudo@yahoo.com
