Aqua Park Family Day with Judo Academy Northampton September 2024

On 7th September 2024, the Northampton Judo Academy came together for a day of fun, laughter, and bonding at the Aqua Parcs in Milton Keynes. This family day was all about bringing our Judo Community closer outside the dojo, offering a perfect blend of water adventures and relaxation.

Splashing Fun at the Aqua Park

The day kicked off with excitement as everyone took to the water. Juniors, families, and coaches alike enjoyed the inflatable obstacle courses, slides, and splash zones. It was fantastic to see our young judokas showing their balance and agility, skills that certainly came in handy while navigating the tricky water challenges! There was a lot of laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of refreshing dips in the water—exactly what we needed on a sunny September day.

A Picnic to Remember

After all that splashing around, we gathered for a relaxing picnic. Families spread out their blankets, and the air was filled with the sounds of chatter and the smell of delicious food. Juniors and their families brought their favourite treats, and everyone had a chance to sit back and enjoy the beautiful weather together.

Games with Juniors and Families

The fun didn’t stop there. Following the picnic, we got into some outdoor games! Frisbee and football quickly became the favourites, with both juniors and parents joining in. It was wonderful to see everyone running around and working as teams, not to mention the cheeky tackles and impressive throws. The games were light-hearted but full of spirit, showcasing the team-building we aim to nurture at our club.

A Day to Cherish

The Aqua Park Family Day was more than just an outing; it was a chance to strengthen the sense of community that’s so important to Judo Academy Northampton. It was heartwarming to see everyone, from our youngest members to their parents, enjoying the day and making memories. This event reminded us that while judo is about discipline and self-defence, it’s also about the friendships and connections we build along the way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special! We’re already looking forward to the next one.
