The entry list for the Clyde Open Grand Prix competition is now available from Judo Scotland.
Usually there will not be a problem but if you’ve entered then you should check to make sure your name is on the list. If it’s not there and it should be then contact Judo Scotland as soon as possible on +44 (0) 131 333 2981 to get it sorted out.
Clyde Judo Club will be hosting a Judo Scotland Cluster Club session at Bishopton Scout Hall, Bishopton, PA7 5JB on Sunday 03/05/2015 between 1:00om and 3:00pm.
Judo Scotland Cluster Club sessions are aimed at introducing (mainly) younger players (Kai grade, AA & A band) to the exciting world of Judo beyond club sessions and are open to judoka from any Judo Scotland-affiliated club.
These will be regular sessions designed to bring young judoka into contact with a variety of coaching and judo styles. They will be an opportunity to make new friends and develop judo technique.
Judo Scotland Cluster Club sessions will be especially suitable for judoka who don’t regularly attend competitions (although competition attendees are more than welcome – please come along!)
We’ll have a couple of older judoka on hand to help the younger judoka and demonstrate techniques.
We’ll have some tea and biscuits on sale for the parental taxi drivers.
The session will cost £2 for 1 child, £3 for 2 siblings and £4 for 3 siblings.
Do come and enjoy yourself! We at Clyde Judo Club hope to be visiting other clubs soon.
Getting there:
The nearest train station is Bishopton – about a 10 minute walk to the Scout Hall.

The 2015 Northern Ireland Open for Minors, Pre-cadets and Cadets was held on Sunday 26/04/2015 at Queens University Physical Education Centre in Belfast.
We saw great performances from everyone but, at the risk of a cliché, several players in the Minor category took their judo to a new level. Some seriously impressive performances were delivered yesterday in all of the Minor categories.
The results were:
Well done all of you!
Sportscotland Insitute of Sport has published a video on How a pen and paper can make me a better athelete.
The video is based on the How to plan for success guide.
Helpfully, they’ve also published a copy including example answers. The examples show that it isn’t hard to use the guide and that a little bit effort will bring a big gain in terms of focussing your training.
Download them and try them out (because Susie always needs more paperwork!).
We had a pleasant surprise last night with a visitor from Sweden attending our training session in Bishopton.
Kalle Bååthe trains with the IK Sodra Judo Club in Stockholm.
Kalle had been over in Edinburgh for the Sportif International Competition where he took Silver in the Pre-Cadet U50kg category.
After the Sportif International Training Camp, Kalle had stayed on in Glasgow and found his way to Bishopton for a training session – where he gave our players a pretty good workout!
At the end of the session, we presented him with a club backpack and a belt signed by all the players present.

The 2015 Sportif International was held at Meadowbank Sports Centre on Saturday 04 April 2015.
This was a large and very tough international competition with entries from across the globe.
The club’s results were:
Very well done!
