What better way to put something back into the sport of judo than by becoming a coach? 

The British Judo Association recognises various levels of coaching award:

• Preliminary Club Coach

To become a judo coach at any of these levels, a player must:

• Have achieved a minimum required judo grade;
• Have a sound knowledge of judo techniques;
• Hold an appropriate first aid certificate;
• Be assessed delivering practical coaching sessions;
• Demonstrate referee skills by a mixture of practical and written tests.
