Judo Alberta Coaches Retreat
Dear Judo Club Sensei,
The Judo Alberta Coaching Staff would like to offer a Club Coaches Retreat on September 12-13, 2015. We hope to use this time to provide you, the club sensei, with the time to understand and become familiar with the Judo Alberta Team Selection Policy and any other Coaching Policies of interest. Furthermore, we would like to have the opportunity to share the goals of the Coaching Committee and the training program being used with your team athletes. This Retreat will be a combination of on mat activities as well as off-mat seminars. Judo Alberta will cover the cost of one night hotel room for coaches outside of the Edmonton area. As well, Judo Alberta will cover the registration fee for the dojo-shu (chief instructor) or his designate. The registration fees will help cover the costs to host the event. The event will conclude with a Coaches Appreciation Dinner (covered by Judo Alberta) where we will have time to relax and socialize. Together we can develop a strong Team Alberta for the next three Nationals in Calgary (and beyond!!)
Please fill in the questionnaire below and email it back to Garry Yamashita at gee_why2@yahoo.com. If you have question or concerns in any area of the Coaching committee, please add it in the comments section at the end.
To view the questionnaire please click here .
If you could please distribute this memorandum to anyone who might be of interest it would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Kind Regards,
Judo Alberta Coaching Committee
