Judo Policies
Two policies which have been approved by the Technical Committee:
New Registration Form
Judo Manitoba has prepared a new Registration Form for members. This form is designed to collect the information and the form of waiver that Judo Canada requires on its on-line registration system, which in turn will allow club coaches to register their members with Judo Manitoba/Canada. Use of this form is not mandatory at this time, and clubs may use the old Judo Manitoba registration forms for this season if they wish. However, if you choose to use the old forms, the on-line Judo Canada registration will still be required.
Please feel free to print copies of the form for use at your club. If a club coach would like copies of the new form printed, please contact me at judo@sportmanitoba.ca.
