The JudoScotland Player Development Framework
A guide to turning fun physical activity into sport for life.
The JudoScotland Player Development Framework is a guide to turning fun physical activity into sport for life. Developed as part of the wider JudoScotland Blueprint, the framework is designed to support coaches and individuals to achieve their potential within Judo and more widely in sports in general.
Summer 2025 Update: Behavioural Competence
We’re excited to share our updated version of the Player Development Framework, which has been developed with the Scottish Institute of Sport and Olympic Bronze Medallist Sally Conway, exploring the behavioural aspects of the Pathway. In the updated version, you’ll hear insightful reflections from Sally as she discusses her approach to behavioural preparation.
You’ll also gain access to practical tools designed to help you develop and manage your own behavioural competencies.
Clubs
JudoScotland values the hard work of our member clubs without whom we wouldn’t be able to develop Judo in Scotland.
Members
We want to make judo accessible to whoever wants to take part, as a JudoScotland member you will have access to a variety of benefits.
Coaches
Coaches are at the front line of judo and are an integral part of clubs. We provide continuous professional development for coaches already on the pathway.
