The European Judo Union (EJU) believes that the education and development of judo club coaches/teachers should be treated with the same importance as that which is currently given to the growth of national teams and coaches. Local judo clubs are the starting point for national teams in each federation. For this reason, the EJU from this point onward, will increase the professionalism and preparation of judo club coaches/teachers in keeping with the focus on national teams and coaches.

Beginning of July 2013, the EJU Education sector and EJU Experts Commission developed the “Improve Your Club” project, a unique education programmes of seminars. These seminars serve the dual purpose of teaching club coaches/ teachers to effectively motivate young people aged 8 -12 years, and how to continue training and competing in judo.

KIDS FAMILY CAMP

11 – 16 June

Sören Starke

The core point will be — “Family and Judo” (parents and U8 children).

Judo training will be undertaken as a fun activity alongside other judo components. Parents will act as partners and as personal coaches. It is desirable that parents will be on the tatami wearing judogi (whilst we appreciate that this is not always possible, we see it as necessary and we should aim for it).

During scheduled activity hours, we are also aiming:

Maintaining “The diary of the participants in “Judo & Family” which will act as a record displaying the thematic section on history, the principles, judo etiquette, performance of creative tasks (drawing, applications) impressions, emotions and knowledge gained during the festival, showing growth and development every day.
Judo history, judo etiquette, code of the judoka, (drawings, comments).
Drawing up applications of different groups of receptions by feet, subcollar, deduction, etc.
Code of the judoka: hieroglyphs and drawings of qualities (one for every day in the form of a ower on each petal).
Drawing up a pyramid of success.
Drawing up the general application of all participants by the principle poch-work from works of children and parents.
Drawings (exhibition), the games (including and desktop – judo tness for mind) attached to judo occupations.

OTC – Going for Gold

11 – 17 June

Sören Starke

The EJU Project “OTC. Going for Gold” was launched in 2010. The main target of the project was to help the best European athletes in their preparations toward the London Olympic Games.

The successful performance of European athletes in London has encouraged the EJU Executive Committee to continue the programme during the next Olympic cycle and to expand it to promising junior judoka — to include medallists from the European and world championships of their age group.

We believe that this programme will be successful and again lead to European athletes becoming the strongest at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
