Judo4Kids was launched in 2018 and Judo Australia is now raising funds to help grow and expand this program to engage as many Australian children as possible.

Donations raised will support the development and expansion of the Judo4Kids program. By expanding our program into more schools and clubs, we can get more children involved in sport and provide them with a safe and healthy activity. The importance of grassroots sport is crucial for providing children with healthy development for later in life. Your donation to Judo Australia's Judo4Kids program will provide children with the ability to participate in our sport and help promote an active lifestyle.
