  • [07 Nov 07] Kids Day Out - report from Shane Alvisio

    Rather than 3 set demonstrations we really had Judo happening from 10am-3pm the whole time. At various times Dave Gillett and I did some set kata sequences or throw for throw. However for most of the day we had kids queing up to throw a judo player (at times there would have been 20 waiting at a time) Having my own kids there in Judo suits giving out brochures was not that successful because they were more interested in watching Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feather Sword, and Ronald McDonald on Centre stage adjacent to us.

    We had only five Judoka throughout the day and we had kids throwing us 4 or 5 times each and only twice each as the day continued. We gave a brochure to every kid who came on the mat with us (about 400 brochures) - so I am estimating that between the 5 of us we were thrown about 1600 times. (I hope our 3 Central Coast Judo Clubs get some enquiries from the brochures because I expect to be very sore from receiving may share of those 1600 throws !)

    Judo was a crowd favourite especially amongst the other demonstration sports of AFL, Rugby & Netball. Our demonstration area looked professional and it stood out very well. We got a few seconds coverage on tonight's NBN news and many parents were commenting on the enjoyment their kids were getting from being able to throw a body rather than just passing a ball. The day was very warm and the mats very hot on our feet - and I have a red sunburnt judogi V on my chest but I hope it was all worth it ?

    Dave Gillett has organised another Judo demonstration at the Clash of the Codes Carnival being hosted at Wyong Leagues Club on Saturday 17th November. We will be distributing the same brochure which has the contact details of all 3 Central Coast Judo Clubs and if any of the clubs and members could attend that would be great. Dave provide the final details for that demonstration as large crowds are expected to that one as well.

    Regards, Shane

  • [19 Oct 07] JUDO NSW CLUB SURVEY
    Here’s your opportunity to provide the Board and our membership with some very valuable feedback. All members or non-financial members are encouraged to complete the form and fax to the JudoNSW Office on 02) 8732 1602.

    Background
    Firstly thank you for taking the time to review this email.

    We value your time, and even more importantly we value your feedback.

    JFA NSW is currently embarking on a process to document, clarify and communicate the Strategic Plan for NSW Judo for 2008-2011. This critical document forms the basis of all activates in the Federation, is used to secure funding, and demonstrate our Sport's Professionalism and Progression to a number of Government sporting organisations in Australia. Therefore it is critical that we get it right, and that all members have the opportunity to contribute to that plan.

    Purpose
    The purpose of this email therefore is to request your club to complete the following survey and to fax the results back to the JFA NSW office by 26th October 2007 for Collation by the BOM.

    This information will be used to define the priorities of Judo NSW over the next 3 years and your contributions with ensure success for us in the coming years

    Once again thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you.
    Regards. JFA NSW BOM

  • [15 Oct 07] New Judo Club Joins JudoNSW

  • [10 Oct 07] PCYC Judo Competition Update
    PCYC Judo Group and JudoNSW are pleased to announce the PCYC Invitational Championships will take place in Lismore on Sunday 18th Nov 2007.

  • [02 Oct 07] Team League Competition Heat 2
    Could all teams ensure they have paid the entry fee for the competition - You may have already but I need to check with Jacqui at the office. If you have not paid please do so ASAP. Much appreciated.

    If you have any good action photo's (particularly photo's of coloured judogi's) could you send them directly to Steve Fuller so he may put them up on the website - these photo's should be a great promotion for this unique concept in the hope that more teams participate in the heats next year.

    Thanks to all teams that ensured they fielded teams and some of us needed to travel more than others to compete.

    Please consider the Teams League format and provide any feedback or comments directly to me at s.alvisio@hotmail.com.

    Another idea for your consideration:
    Replacing the State Teams Tournament with the Teams League format?
    1st month Friday Night - (under 13yrs) Boys & Girls Teams
    2nd month Friday Night - (under 16yrs) Boys & Girls Teams
    3rd month Friday Night - Young Men & Young Women Teams
    4th month Friday Night - Mens & Womens Teams
    5th month Friday Night - Masters Mens & Womens Teams
    6th month Friday Night - The final match of each of the preceeding monthly Fight Nights.
    (10 gold/silver medal matches)

    The overall Teams League trophy could then be awarded to the club that has entered the largest number of teams in all of the categories.

    This proposed format may ensure that more clubs could enter teams (because of the smaller teams required)

    Anyway one idea to get the email conversation started.

    Thanks again for your support and see all of you at the 2007 Team Legaue Final on the 30th November.

    Shane.
