Choosing the right platform for a judo club's online presence is crucial for its growth and community engagement. While Facebook is a popular and versatile social network, Judo Connect offers specific advantages tailored to the needs and aspirations of judo clubs. Here are three main reasons why Judo Connect is a better choice for a judo club compared to using Facebook as their primary social network:

Steve Coles

He has stepped into the role this month. But has been in Drake Judo for many years now running our Par classes! To introduce him to you all we have got him to answer some questions ❓❓

Feel free to also ask yours!

1. What inspired you to get involved with judo?

Referee theory paper ✅

Congratulations to our referees who have successfully passed the National C Referee theory course and the Club/Area Referee Theory course.

Referees play an integral part in our sport, without them we simply could not operate competitions. Let's get behind this new group of referees that support our judo community.

Well done guys! 🙌

Sometimes it takes someone to remind you, how lucky you are. Bill Sargent Jnr pointed out that we really have an amazing diversity of players at our club. I have to agree as here is a regular night training over the summer holiday time when many clubs close, with Veterans, Adaptive, National, Visitors, Juniors, Advanced and Beginners. Not forgetting our players as young as 14 wanting to join the senior practise. Well done all, us coaches are very proud to inspire all corners of the judo community AND MOST OF ALL proud to have you.

super congratulations to Aidan Chan, Elli De-Ritter and Ella Williams, who all won Community awards, the young Greenwich, Awards night, at Greenwich University
