What do you need after booking a free trial?

When should I come for a trial session?

We run trial sessions every Monday and Thursday except on bank holidays, and your child should attend the session for their age group:
Ages 7-9: 5-6pm
Ages 10-11: 6-7pm
Ages 12-15: 7-8pm
Just arrive 10-15 minutes before your session to get settled! No need to book a specific date—come on the next suitable day for you.

What should my child wear for the trial session?

Your child can wear comfortable sports clothing, and we’ll lend them a judo gi (suit) and the belt for the session.

Do I need to bring anything for the class?

Just a bottle of water to keep them hydrated during the session.

Can I stay and watch the class?

Yes, you’re welcome to stay and watch! We have a viewing area for parents.

What happens after the trial session—do I need to sign up right away?

If your child enjoyed the class, you can let the lead coach know if you'd like to sign up. We offer flexible judo subscriptions that allow you to cancel anytime with no long-term commitment. You can even freeze your membership for a full month if needed. This way, you stay in control of your commitment!

I'm not sure if my kid likes it after a trial session. What now?

If you're not sure if your child likes judo after the trial session, no worries! We offer a single entry option, so they can try it a few more times to see if it’s a good fit. If they decide they want to continue, you can sign up for a subscription, which offers discounted rates for regular players.

Can I reschedule the trial if something comes up?

Yes, no problem. Let us know that you couldn't make it. You can show up at the next suitable Monday or Thursday session based on your child’s age group. See the age groups timetable >

Will there be other beginners in the class?

Yes, there will definitely be other beginners. That’s why we ask you to book the free trial—so we can inform the coach to take extra time to introduce your child to judo and pair them with skill-appropriate player.
