Judo Competition Team
There will be two competition teams, Team Elite (A Squad) and Team Triumph (B Squad). The Judo Competition Team is based upon performance. It will be up to Leo Sensei’s discretion, which student moves into which Squad. This offers opportunity for competition to all, while advancing those with true Olympic and Junior Olympic potential.
Team Elite mandates extensive travel to tournaments and special training sessions throughout the country.
Team Triumph will compete locally, with the option of a few national events to improve their experience. Their tournament schedule will be more instructive, rather than competitive.
