Court Lane players are once again invited to attend a Saturday training session with Holbrook Judo Club, on Saturday 19 November.

This session will be led by Gemma Bavister, who achieved great success as a junior. Her sessions are renowned for great warm ups, great judo and thumping music – her Gangnam Style judo when Holbrook hosted Royan a few years ago, has become legendary…

The session runs from 10-12 noon at Holbrook Judo Club, Brune Park School, Military Road, Gosport.

Hampshire Squad session this Sunday!

Hard work pays offSquad training will take place again this weekend, it has been great to have Court Lane players at every session, would be great to see a few more this time! Sessions are open to all competitive juniors, aged 8 and over.

My fellow squad manager, Paul Vella, recently circulated this message about the squads:

Please note that the next county squad training session is to be held this coming Sunday 23 October 2016 15.30 – 17.30 with guest coach Petra Piears she was a junior once and I remember her as a young teenager at Burridge JC many years ago, she did go on to win many British, European & World Masters titles.
We would like to remind all County juniors that there is no county championships next year and therefore the county training sessions will be used to identify players for the 2017 SA intercounties championships.
Full selection criteria will be publicised soon but you must be aware that we require all clubs and coaches to promote these sessions amongst their players as we do have our hands tied here.
The November training will be run by Danny Murphy also at Fleming Park (27/11/16) and then it is intended to move sessions to Osaka for January February & March 2017 subject to numbers attending.
