SAVE THE DATE:

11th October We’re excited to confirm that the NI Regional Schools Judo Championships will take place on Sunday 11th October.

This year brings a major step forward: broader eligibility and additional categories, allowing many more athletes to enter than in previous NI Schools events.

It’s a more inclusive format designed to give young people across our judo community the opportunity to get involved and progress.

More information coming soon — but please make sure the date is in your diaries.

ALSO 🚨

The final parts of the No Gi are being put into place and entry will open shortly.
