The Scottish All Stars Championship

The Scottish All Stars Championship focuses on providing a fun experience that appropriately challenges young judoka at this stage in their development. The aim is to maximise the time on the mat whilst introducing more competitive elements of judo. There are many elements to competitive judo that are beneficial to individuals’ development, from the application of contest rules and the consequence of breaking them to the feeling and coping with ‘pressure’. Most importantly The Scottish All Stars Championship aims to provide positive experiences!

We understand that taking the next step outside the club environment can sometimes be daunting for both parent and child and we hope that the information provided in the event outline will help to eliminate some of these pressures.
