Kettering Premier Judo
Club has received a grant to run a series of four-week adult beginners
courses starting in June.
The club, who were awarded
their Bronze Clubmark Award in 2006, received the grant from Northamptonshire
Sports Get Sporty fund.
Laurence Kenyon, Kettering
Premier Judo Club’s Development Manager, said: “The scheme is
aimed at getting more adults involved in sport as well as encouraging
former players to return to these types of activities.
“This will enable us to
offer the whole block of coaching and a judo suit for just £20
to anyone wishing to come along.”
The course will take place
on Saturday morning’s from 11.00 am – 12.00 noon and is open to
newcomers who are aged 15 and above.
“Our hope is to attract
20 newcomers to the sessions and as part of the grant we will
also be sending two of our Young Leaders, who will assist on the
beginners sessions, on Level 1 coaching courses over the summer.”
The highly-active club
also has two very special judo figures visiting in May and July
as former World Champion Craig Fallon and 8th Dan Roy Inman run
master class sessions in Kettering.
Fallon, 27, who has
taken a sabbatical since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, will take
a session on Sunday May 23rd while distinguished coach Inman will
hold a class for players and coaches on Saturday 10th July.
