October Schedule

The schedule for Team Sacramento includes our first tournament of the 2012/2013 season. This tournament is the Capitol Open in Sacramento on Sunday October 7. This is always a great event to start your judo competition experience or to come and watch a judo tournament to see a competition first hand. As always there will be no practice the Saturday before the tournament October 6. All other practice schedules will remain the same. Please go to the tournament to support your team if you are not going to compete, and best wishes to all competitors.

August Schedule

Team Sacramento will be taking a break from practice from July 31 returning on September 4. This is an excellent time for students and competitors to relax and recover from a long and difficult season. It does not mean that students cannot continue to study judo at home and work on things to make them better when they come back. All students are expected to take the break and use it to improve. We will start our season strong in September to get ready for the early part of tournament season. Students, parents, and coaches enjoy the break and we will see you in September!
