What is Judo in Schools?

Judo in Schools are introductory programs combining fun and physical activity for children along with the learning of fundamental judo techniques, terminology and values — including friendship and respect — that will stay with them throughout their lives.

Judo in Schools programs are a fun and enjoyable way for children to learn judo and benefit from the various social, physical and mental benefits that this great Olympic sport can provide. Judo has a strong moral culture that can enrich children's lives from the mat to their everyday life.

Our Programs

In Western Australia there are two options for the delivery of an in-school judo program.

Introductory Program

One-Day Program

Our Introductory Program is a complimentary, one-day, in-school introduction to judo that exposes students to the fundamentals of the sport. Each session runs for up to 1 hour and multiple sessions can be delivered to several classes throughout the school day.

Sporting Schools Program

Extended 4-Week Program

The Sport Australia Sporting Schools program, like our introductory program, exposes students to the fundamentals of judo over an extended 4-week period. Sessions run for up to 1 hour and multiple programs can be requested for various year groups.

Note: Unlike the Introductory Program, delivery of an extended 4-week program is conditional on a school receiving Sporting Schools funding.

  2. Find a deliverer

    After receiving an application for an Introductory Program, or confirmation of a school's Sporting Schools funding, a suitable deliverer will be identified.
