Education Program: Grid Seven
In summer 2011 we launched our incentivised education and development program to encourage all students to increase their active role in judo outside of training sessions at the club and to gain higher qualifications in judo.
What is the program about?
We've worked hard to bring our students an incentive program which encourages them to excel in judo whether it's to raise funds, become a future instructor of the club or to compete in our Kata team. These are a few examples of what you can do to improve both your experience and our club.
Grid Seven is a step by step program that can really improve what you already do, but also encourage you to help out with the club - even the smallest tasks session-by-session can help us build a stronger club faster.
When you've completed Grid Seven you'll be given an exclusive Grid Seven badge to go on your gi and Grid Seven T-shirt, along with other benefits being planned for the future, which we'll introduce once the program has built up some momentum.
Why have we created the program?
We have a unique atmosphere and ethos at nokémono and we want to ensure that the future of our club stays that way, but we also want to expand and influence others in the world of judo.
Although we're a relatively new club (founded in 2006), in that short time we've built a fantastic reputation in schools, the local community and the BJA.
Over the last five years:
- We've developed three additional qualified coaches (and are planning to develop another three)
- Our volunteers have attended nearly 30 courses
- We've run 162 gradings
(correct at July 2011)
Grid Seven will help us increase our outreach even further.
Our goal is to:
- Educate our players above and beyond any other club in the country
- Further raise our profile
- Raise funds so that we can run our own competitions
- Run Dan gradings (black belt)
- Hold a yearly championship event
We believe that by educating our students we'll build a vital infrastructure to achieve our goals.
How
It's quite simple; if you're a nokémono student, all you need to do is sign up to the program and when you receive your guide booklet, look through to see what you'd like to do. The idea is to challenge yourselves and open yourselves to something that you wouldn’t ordinarily do.
Once you've completed a task, you log it on the back of your booklet and get it signed off by one of our coaches. You’ll then be issued with your certificate.
The tasks are divided into sections, for each section you complete you'll receive a certificate. There are also tasks that gain half sections to make it easier for the younger players, again when you have completed two halves you will receive a certificate. Once you have seven sections completed you will have completed Grid Seven.
