JudoScotland is excited to announce that it will be delivering the Scottish Judo Performance Programme from this summer.
As the only sportscotland-invested Scottish Governing Body not currently delivering its own performance programme, this transition marks a significant and positive change. It will allow for greater alignment within the wider Scottish Judo community, ensuring a more integrated and athlete-focused approach as we head towards Glasgow 2026 and beyond.
Craig Burn, Director of Sport at sportscotland said: “The transition of the judo performance programme from sportscotland to JudoScotland marks an important step forward for the governing body, and for the sport in Scotland.
“Working with the team at JudoScotland, we will continue to provide specialist services from the sportscotland institute of sport to performance athletes, ensuring that Scotland’s judoka have the support they need to deliver continued success on the world stage.”
JudoScotland CEO Judith McCleary commented: “We are excited for this next chapter for Judo in Scotland, as we bring our sport in line with other Scottish Governing Bodies. I believe this move offers a fantastic opportunity for improved internal alignment within the performance pathway, whilst we also look to enhance collaboration with British Judo enabling us to build a stronger, more cohesive performance structure across the Home Nations.”
JudoScotland will soon begin recruiting for key roles within the new Performance Programme.
