Funding boost for Scottish Judo
Sportscotland is investing £414,940 in the development of JudoScotland.
The money will target the key areas of youth participation, and the funding will allow the appointment of more talent coaches to work with judo athletes aged 12-19 – the age when most begin to take part in organised competitions.
Jim Feenan, chair of JudoScotland, said “The overall package of investment offered by sportscotland will be warmly welcomed by judoka across Scotland. We believe that the support relieved has the potential to benefit all those participating within the sport and will enable us to encourage more young Scots to give judo a try.”
This funding coincides with the first year of JudoScotland’s six year plan, which aims to improve youth participation and standards of coaching in Scotland and sportscotland has been awarded to assist them in these areas.
