The JudoScotland Grand Prix Series is designed to offer meaningful, age-appropriate competitive experiences that align with the JudoScotland Player Development Framework and raise the profile of the sport both within local communities and beyond. These events not only support the growth and development of judoka but also provide valuable opportunities for referees, technical officials, and volunteers to gain experience and progress in their roles within Scottish judo.
