Judo in Schools

How parents can support judo in schools and help children stay active.

Family support matters

Parents & guardians

Support from parents and family has a positive impact on children’s motivation and enjoyment of sport and physical activity.

Physical activity is fundamental to the development of children and young people, which is why they should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity every day.

If Judo in Schools is not offered at your school, your child may still try judo by visiting one of our many local judo clubs in WA. Find your nearest judo club.

Is judo safe for children?

Judo is taught progressively with qualified coaches, appropriate equipment and a strong emphasis on respect, control and safe practice. Programs are designed to be inclusive and age-appropriate.
