Judo Alberta recommends that clubs have a budget to help with the funding of your Canada Winter Games athletes for the summer of 2026.
Judo Alberta can make modifications to the CWG Summer Programs as details/information/final costs are finalized. (We do not have all of the information/technical packages/flight cost/etc, for the summer of 2026 at this time. )
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have athletes born in the 2009 to 2012, they need to have start to compete at Judo Canada Events. Judo Alberta will ONLY be looking at the advanced divisions results for the Summer Funding criteria and the 2027 Canada Winter Games Selection Criteria. Athletes need to compete and score points against athletes that they will compete against at the 2027 CWG. (Novice / Intermediate U16/U18 results / divisions will not be considered)

There will be 14 Japanese Hight School Students from Hokkaido taking part in the Winter Camp (8 male / 6 female)
Please note that the Winter Camp is a week earlier this year because of the participation of the Japanese Team – December 05-07, 2025.
There will be 3-4 Mental Health Sessions for Judo Alberta Athletes (U16-U18-U21-SR & Coache) at the Holiday Inn. We will be making groups of 25 for these sessions. We highly recommend coaches encourage all athletes to participate. (Mental Health 101)
Please note the Deadline is November 21, 2025; the deadline is extra early this year because of extra organization involved with the Japanese Team and the Mental 101 Sessions
There will be a Team Competition on Sunday, December 07, 2025, with the Japanese Team, Judo Alberta and other provincial teams. The Judo Alberta HP Coach Committee will select athletes to participate. If an athlete has been identified by the coaches we are hoping they will represent athlete in the team competition. It will be a lot of fun. We will need to have volunteers for score keeping, draws, etc.
