Over the next four years,
British Judo will receive significant funding from Sport England
to fund an initiative aimed specifically at developing and increasing
female participation in the sport. To help us ensure that we utilise
this funding effectively, we are seeking the views of current
female participants.
This exciting new initiative
is mainly directed at a recreational level, to inspire women over
14 years of age to remain in the sport and to encourage potential
members to come through our club doors.
We are starting this process
by trying to bring as many current female members together as
possible with a view to establishing what British Judo is doing
well and what improvements are required to ensure we can better
meet the needs of current and future female participants.
We hope that this process
will provide us with some information on:
- What is that our female membership is looking for to improve
their experience in the sport?
- How we can market the sport to inspire other girls and women
out there to join us?
- Which women would like to be involved in a BJA Focus/Action
group for women?
- What future resources should we invest in?
The support of our existing
female membership in collating this information is important to
us and we would like to invite you to attend the first of what
will be regular Women’s and Girl’s only judo sessions.
