Portage Judo Club

Due to the current situation and the nature of the sport of judo where contact is necessary, we regret to announce that classes have been delayed until November 12, 2020.

We will start with one class per night consisting of 13 years of age and over.

No beginners will be allowed at this time due to space restrictions necessary to comply with Judo Manitoba return to play regulations.

Registration can be done by texting me your name along with 2 others that you will consider to be your bubble partners.

On the first night of classes you must each fill out and print off:

• Judo Manitoba registration sheet
  • Covid declaration form
  • Assumption of risk form if under 18 years of age
  • Judo Manitoba Waiver if over 18 years of age

If Covid-19 remains at infection rates which allow us to continue operating under stage 2 regulations, an under 13 of age class will start up in January.

Class time is from 7:30-8:30 Tuesday and Thursday nights.

This schedule was decided upon at a meeting of coaches and some parents held last week.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to call or text me on my cell at

204-856-3684.

More info on what class criteria we will follow can be found on Judo Manitoba website under Return to Play.

Sincerely

Brian Case

Head Coach

Hello everyone

We are all going through something we have never experienced before. I feel that our year never had the proper closure it should have had. I am trying to organize a final get together/barbecue picnic and am looking for a date in late July. The Asham family  have graciously offered to host this event. More info will be made available as soon as possible and all Covid protocols will be in place.

On another note I have been waiting to see how this whole Corona effect would play out. Judo Manitoba held Sport Manitoba’s  first virtual AGM this past Saturday and although work is being done we are a long way off yet from having a consistent set of protocols that will allow us to open up Dojo’s in Manitoba. I feel we need to move forward somehow so I am encouraging you to text me if you or your siblings are interested in classes for the 20/21 season.

As for last season I feel for those who paid for classes that they never got. I am suggesting at this point Portage Judo will allow a credit against 20/21 registration fees . For those that may not know new mats were ordered last season and we need to be fiscally responsible and keep enough funds in the bank to cover our room rentals.

If you feel this suggestion is unfair or have a better idea I encourage you to contact me or any of our other assistant instructors so we can bring your idea forward. Thanks for your patience in this situation and I look forward to seeing you all in Judo classes at some point in the not too distant future.

Sincerely Yours
