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.

Two pathways

Our Programs

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

Judo WA Delivered

Tailored School Program

Book judo directly with Judo WA. We work with your school to shape the program around your timetable, year groups, class sizes and learning goals — so sessions fit your students, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Flexible delivery: content, session length and scheduling can be tailored to your school’s requirements.

Sporting Schools Program

Extended 4-Week Program

The Sport Australia Sporting Schools pathway delivers judo fundamentals over an extended 4-week period. Sessions run for up to 1 hour and multiple programs can be requested for various year groups.

Note: Delivery of an extended 4-week program is conditional on a school receiving Sporting Schools funding.

From application to club

Program Process

  1. School applies

    School submits an enquiry for a tailored Judo WA delivered program, or applies to Sport Australia for Sporting Schools funding for an extended 4-week program.

  2. Find a deliverer

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

    Generally, this will be the club located closest to the school. However, if required, Judo WA may deliver the program directly — and can tailor sessions to your school’s needs.

  3. Deliver the program

    The deliverer of the program will liaise with the school to confirm all necessary details and deliver the program.

  4. School to club

    At the conclusion of each program, students will be provided with flyers encouraging them to join their local judo club on a more permanent basis.
