How programs are staffed

Who delivers?

Selection depends on whether a nearby club or Judo WA delivers the program.

Club delivered

Local club

When a nearby judo club delivers the program, that club selects coaches — provided each coach meets the minimum eligibility criteria.

Judo WA usually offers the closest club the first opportunity to deliver.

Judo WA delivered

State program

When Judo WA delivers, coaches who have expressed interest — and meet the eligibility criteria — are selected based on availability and proximity to the school.

Used when a local club is unable to deliver, or when a tailored Judo WA program is requested.
