Matside Coaching Award
British Judo’s Matside Coach Award provides the coach with the skills and knowledge that will allow them to improve their Matside coaching and deliver quality service and duty of care to the players they are coaching.
Professionalising this important role is the principal aim, ensuring that the coach and player’s behaviour is consistent with the values of the sport and there is strict adherence to the British Judo Association’s Code of Conduct and Ethics.
Through the certification process, we aim to encourage the highest standards of coach behaviours while they are engaged in the ‘Matside’ coaching process.
To reduce the inconvenience caused by travel, time, and expenses incurred by the learners in attending a face-to-face Matside Coach Award course, British Judo is offers the Matside Coach Award as an online course.

Koka Kids Judo Coaching Resources:
Nicola Fairbrother (7th Dan, Olympic Silver 1992, World Champion 1993, MBE)
It’s an online library of printable resources to help coaches teach judo.
For example, if a coach wants to teach Hane-Goshi they can go to that technique and print off the teaching material.
There are posters that can be pinned up on the dojo walls. Each step of the technique is illustrated, so the kids can see how to do the technique.
Already there are 40+ techniques to choose from – and I add a new technique every week.
Each Monday, I send out the resources by email, to all subscribed coaches.
They are sent as high resolution, print-ready pdf files, easy to download, and the coach can print off as required.
Sensei Paul Jones, (Paul Jones School of Judo, Basingstoke) prints out certificates and teaching sheets for the techniques he plans to teach each term and uses them to help plan his lessons.
A paid subscription is just £60.00 for a full year, which includes over a hundred different resources. There is also a free trial option.
Yes, there are various flyers. Cubs can add in their own contact details, logo etc and use them to gain new members.
Some of the most used resources are the certificates; Judoka of the Month, Good Attendance, Judo Spirit, Most Improved etc.
The certificates help boost confidence and give the children a reward for the effort they are putting in.
Ross Goodwin, (Kaidokan Judo Academy) told me ““The children love the certificates as it inspires them further. We use a variety of certificates which can be earned in versatile ways to ensure all children focus on themselves and support their team. They can be earned by displaying perseverance, patience, determination, overcoming adversity and for supporting one another.”
