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:

Yesterday our Year 5/6 football team travelled to Saltash to play Burraton Primary School.
It was a very competitive game with some good football on display.
Although we dominated much of the game, it was an early goal for Burraton that sealed it.
We were very unlucky not to get the draw.

A great effort. Well done 👍 ⚽️

And let's not forget Jordan, whose spirit and resilien
