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.

Welcome Back Clarky! ✍️🔵🌕

The club are delighted to re-sign Ryan Clarke!

After leaving the club last summer to join Buckfastleigh, Clarky has decided to return to the club!

An excellent midfielder, with a massive work rate! Clarky’s composure on ball and passing ability really strengthens our midfield, he’s also got a goal or 10 in him as well!

Having previously won the Devon & Exeter Prem with Lapford, Clarkys experience will really help the club to attempt promotion back to the Prem at the first time of asking!

Welcome Back Clarky!

Meet the team... Head coach
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?

When I was a child, my mum decided to take my older brother and me to a local judo club because we were constantly fighting at home. She hoped it would help channel our energy in a more positive direction.

2. How long have you been involved with and supporting the judo community, and what k

Will you be enjoying watching the Olympic Games Opening Cermony which starts very soon in Paris.

If you are, did you know, the International Olympic Committee has 206 National Olympic Committees spread across 5 continents, and 122 of those nations will be represented in the judo event, that’s 60%, showing just how far judo has spread across the world 😁

And did you also know that 28 of the flag bearers named so far (23% of all the nations flag bearers) will be judoka 😊 How fantastic is that for our amazing sport 😁😊🥋

Conratulations Matt, West of England Masters Champion
