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:

A busy week or so of competitions and hard grafting was finished off nicely with lots of new coloured belts on the mat. Our grading weekend, and after a few extra grades given out, totaled 67 new U8, Mon and Kyu grades awarded across all our classes.
Lots of new beginners have started recently, so looking forward to bringing through the next generation of Wirral Judoka.
Keep up the great work everyone. 😊🥋💪

Is it the Xmen? .....nooooo
Is it the England football team?.....nooooo too many medals
Is it the cast of Star Wars in full make up? Maybe!!!
Actually it's a bunch of medallists from the SKK Judo Club competition over the weekend.
All fought very well and we are very proud.

Hello everyone. We are very much looking forward to hosting our Annual Rumble competition this coming Sunday. It looks set to be a cracking day with approximately 225 entrants (over 3 mats) from age 4 to veterans. We have gone through all entries, and for any size/experiance anomalies, we have emailed coaches. Most of these relate to 7yr old kinders who due to size or experiance, we will likely move up to contest with our 8yr old primaries, a category where in most other competitions, they would contest in anyway. However we pride ourselves in providing a really positive contest experiance

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! 🙌

We are looking forward to presenting the winners of our Olympic Art Competition! 🥉🥈🥇
We wanted to give the children something to do in the summer that didn't involve sitting inside on a tablet or in front of a screen, and we have had some fantastic entries and have been blown away by the response! 🤯
We believe that the benefits of Judo extend far beyond the confides of the dojo. Seeing the children take the time to create these hand drawn masterpieces on what Judo means to them has been deeply humbling and enjoyable to witness!
The winners will receive certificates and our first place entry
