The British Judo Association National Refereeing Commission considers the promotion of better understanding of the rules by younger judoka and therefore future senior judoka/coaches as a top priority.

The Junior Officials and Referees Award Scheme sets out to educate young judokas by following these objectives.

• To promote a better understanding of the rules by the younger judoka and therefore future senior judoka/coaches.
  
  
• To promote a better understanding of the way the referee arrives at his/her decisions.
  
  
• To introduce junior players to, and give them experience of, refereeing and working as a table official so that they:
  
  
  • Are better able to understand and appreciate decisions given by senior referees
  • Get a deeper understanding of other aspects of judo rather than just the competitive side.
  • Are prepared for the future when it is hoped they will progress into National Referees/ Table Officials.
