How do I Join ?

I have just started Judo. How do I become a member of JudoScotland?

If you have recently started judo after your 4th session you are required to take out membership with
JudoScotland to maintain your individual insurance, and the opportunity to further your Judo training.
You will need to complete the form attached below and ask your club coach to confirm that you are a member of a club and what grade you are. Once this is completed, please post the form along with the relevant payment into JudoScotland. The membership will take 5 working days to process and your new membership along with record book, badge and certificate will be posted to your home address.             

After you become a member JudoScotland will send you a membership renewal reminders a month before your membership expires. You can then renew your membership and pay over the phone or post the reminder slip back.
