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:

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!

Williams Returns! ✍️🔵🌕

The club are delighted to announce that Ant Williams has decided to re-sign for the club!

12 months after leaving for Buckfastleigh, Ant has decided to return to Abbrook to strengthen Dan Tyler’s squad and help them gain promotion back to the prem!

A strong, versatile & vocal defender with great passing ability, Ant gives our defence strength and confidence to play the type of football the new manager desires!

Welcome back Ant!

With great sadness we announce the passing of Lead Coach Paul Johnson of Scarborough Judo Club! Our thoughts are with his family at this time!
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Just been sent this memory of Rochdale judo club at Crystal Palace. ( British Opens )

We have been covering the leg drag pass recently. I like this when loose passing on the outside.

Control the hips and keep them their hips facing the other way. They will either turn away, you take the back or pass. Turn back into you, get your knee to the floor and stay heavy.

You can cook someone in this position, so when you get it, don't rush 💪
