National Training Camp

To all Judo Clubs:

There is a National Training Camp after the Pacific International Tournament in Richmond B.C this year.
The training camp will run from Monday March 8th- Wednesday morning March 11th, 2015.

Each club is responsible for travel arrangements and accommodations for the tournament, but Judo Alberta is sending a provincial coach for the training and will be booking rooms specifically for the camp Monday- Wednesday and these athletes will be chaperoned and taken care of by the Judo Alberta coach.

Please let Laurie Wiltshire know who from your club will be attending the camp and if you need a hotel room with Judo Alberta from Monday-Wednesday by January 31st, 2015.

This camp is a good opportunity to train with athletes outside of Judo Alberta and for our younger athletes U14 and U16 to have an experience at a National training camp so close to home.

Thank you

Laurie Wiltshire
HP Coach Judo Alberta
