Covid-19 Update (22nd April 2020):

Currently all England Judo activity has been postponed until the 31^st April 2020. Following the UK Government advice and the evolving COVID-19 situation throughout the UK the decision has been taken to prolong this postpone until 30^th June 2020.

This includes:

• England Talent Development Squad (ETD)
• Regional Development Squads (REDS)
• England Talent Development Centre (ETDC) Training Sessions
• Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) training sessions

England Judo will look to replace lost training camps where possible with further detail being released once Government advice states it is safe to do so.

Please note that DiSE sessions continue to happen remotely via media platforms and athletes should contact their DiSE coaches with regards to any work required.

We will be in touch as, and when, new advice and information changes with regards to competitions and camps dated after the 30^th June 2020.
