Term 4 Newsletter: Lilydale Judo Club

Welcome, back to another great term at Lilydale. We have some exciting events ahead of us this term. The children will all be working towards their next grading. I’m hoping a large number of my members will make the effort to travel to Drouin and compete in this year’s Regional Competition. This is an excellent Competition to start representing our club in. The children will be able to rely on the drill training we did last term as well as our focus on combinations and counters. The other Competition is the EOY JVI Celebration Competition. For all my members who love their Kata there will be a Regional Kata Seminar on 22nd October, also held in Drouin.
