Harry Webb and Kristian Pochev competed in last weekend’s Southern Area Development event, both returning with bronze medals.
The Southern Area is running a Development Competition for players graded 9th mon and under, on 16 June.
The aim is for all players to have three fights and go home with a medal – colour determined by results. The event is already half full. Full details can be found on the Southern Area calendar.
Kristian Pochev entered the Gladiator judo competition in Bulgaria, coming home with a bronze medal for 3rd place – Congratulations!
Competitions are available closed to home – check out the Southern Area and British Judo calendars for forthcoming events.
There’s only one week left to enter the Hampshire Closed, so get those entries in.
Success at this event has been the launchpad for our players to achieve County, Area, National, and Commonwealth success!
Entry forms can be found on the Southern Area website.
As we return to training after the Easter break, please make sure your membership and licences are up to date.
Your licence is your insurance cover in case of injury, and is necessary to partake in gradings and competitions. It also gives you access to a range of other benefits.
Full details of British Judo membership and licensing can be found on the BJA website.
Just a reminder, as we mentioned in a previous post – entry is now open to the 2024 Hampshire Closed.
A medal here may qualify you to represent Hampshire in the Southern Area interCounty tournament.
The Hampshire Closed has been the launchpad for many of our players who have gone on to great success.

Following her success at the recent Southern Area Schools regional qualifier, Chloe will be heading to Sheffield again this weekend to compete in the national Schools Championship.

As always, best of luck Chloe!

Details of competitions within the Southern Area (Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent) are published on the calendar of the Southern Area website.
The Southern Area website also links to the main British Judo events page, detailing courses and competitions across the country.

Details of smaller, club based events may be circulated locally.
Always check with the Club coaches about suitability of an event before entering.
