Open events require Judo WA sanction

Clubs organising an open event — one that welcomes Judo WA members from clubs other than their own — must have the event sanctioned by Judo WA before it can be advertised or run.

Club-only events for your own members generally do not need this form, but please still check the calendar to avoid unintended clashes.

Before you plan

Good event planning starts with a clear purpose, a suitable date, and the right people in place. Review the Judo WA events calendar early — events only appear publicly once they are approved, so other organisers may already be planning activity on your preferred weekend.

Types of events

Judo WA supports a wide range of club and state activity, including:

  • Club / intra-club events — gradings, club competitions and training for your own members.
  • Open competitions — events open to judoka from other affiliated clubs, which require sanction.
  • Training camps and clinics — technical sessions, preparation camps and development activities.
  • Dan grade promotion examinations — formal grading events conducted in line with national requirements.

If you are unsure which category your event falls into, contact Judo WA before you begin promoting it.

How the process works

  1. Check available dates on the Judo WA calendar and consider whether your event is likely to clash with existing or similar events.
  2. Submit a booking request with your proposed date, venue, level and age groups. Sanction must be obtained before advertising to other clubs.
  3. Judo WA will review your request and contact you using the email provided. If the date is not suitable, we will work with you to find an alternative.
  4. Once approved, your event can proceed to licensing and publication on the events calendar.

Submitting a request registers your intent to hold an open event on a certain day. Your event will not appear on the public calendar until it is sanctioned and published by Judo WA.
