Where Do We Train and How much is it?
SUNDAYS: The Studio, Worthing Leisure Centre, Shaftesbury Avenue, Worthing BN12 4ET
WEDNESDAYS: Ashington Community Centre, Foster Lane, Ashington RH20 3PG
Beginners
All beginners start on a Sunday. Each week when you rebook for the next session, we will ask you to prepay.
For some younger players, a 90 minute session is inappropriate due to the standard of judo in the last 30 minutes, so we will continue a 60 minute session by standing order only until they are ready for 90 minutes.
Graded Players
We continue the pay as you play system for seniors only, who either have shift work or are “on call” because of their work and cannot control their attendance.
Please note, the standing orders allow for holidays, and continue for the times we are shut, i.e. Christmas, and any other absences by you. We will also deal individually with players who are signed off for periods in excess of 2 months due to injury.
Wednesday Sessions
WHAT OTHER COSTS ARE INVOLVED?
By the end of the 4th session for juniors and by the end of the 12th session for seniors, we expect you to be ready and able to take your first grading. Each belt is a mark of your achievement and signifies your ability. You will need to buy a licence from British Judo before you grade, and this provides insurance cover and can be done online and paid by card. A new licence in 2021 is £31 for a junior and £42 for a senior.
The grading fee in 2021 is £14 for juniors and £20 for seniors.
You will need to buy your own judo suit, and we have a stock of these and can advise you on sizes and shrinkage, and a training grade quality judo suit is from £20 to £30 depending on size.
