October Schedule

Every year October is the month when we return to our competition schedule after a few short months off. This year is no different, as we begin the 2009/2010 tournament season with The Capitol Open on Sunday October 11, at Consumnes River College. This year the tournament is a week later than normal and I expect to see many of our students at the competition. Even if you are not competing it would be nice to see students show up to encourage fellow team members. If you are new, this would be an excellent venue for you to watch a judo tournament and see what it is like to compete as a judoka. As always with Sunday tournaments there will be no practice the Saturday before. The rest of the October schedule will be normal days and times. Time to get ready for another successful Team Sacramento campaign.

September Schedule

Here are the schedule highlights for Team Sacramento in September as we get ready to start tournament season in October at the Capitol Open.

*Basic (18 Hour Program) Testing will be from August 31 to September 5. Everyone needs to be ready to complete testing for basic judo techniques. Testing will be conducted by the black belts with the assistance of Jonel Luz and Kyle Roberts.

*Our inaugural golf tournament will be held on Sunday September 27 in Sacramento. We will need raffle prize donations, volunteers, golfers, etc. Please contact Joanne to offer help with the tournament if you are available.

The rest of the month will be dedicated to getting back to a normal schedule getting our students ready for the upcoming tournament season. All students that wish to compete need to make sure to attend practice as much as possible.

Cap City Practice Thursday August 27

Cap City is moving locations. We are excited that they will be moving into a spot that will have more exposure and easier access. The new facilities will have better conditions for our workouts and equipment. Of course all of that equipment needs to be moved. On Thursday August 27 we will be helping to move equipment and furniture to the new Cap City location instead of practicing. Please lend a hand to help so that the evening can go as smoothly as possible. Hope to see many helpers there.

Thanks,

Sensei Brent
