Welcome. John Clarke opened the meeting by welcoming all those present and thanking them for giving up their time to attend. A short presentation on “The IBF – The way forward” was given, outlining the need for more members and improved coaching.
Points For Discussion
- I.B.F. Practical Awards Scheme. Greg Garside explained the scheme. All information is available on the Internet. All teachers, instructors and coaches must have basic knowledge of first aid, gained by attending a first aid course.
- Instructors Coaching Course. John Clarke proposed a yearly coaching / instructor’s course for new and existing coaches, to be held around the first Sunday in March each year. Any-one wishing to take start coaching, or complete the next level of The Award Scheme, must attend. Colin Carrott proposed that this be combined with a referee’s course, on the same day, at the same venue. These points were carried unanimously. It was also accepted that next years revalidation course be held on a Sunday.
- Competitions and Referees. Trevor Davies put forward his view on the “no score, no groundwork” rule, trialled at the Y.J.C. 50th. Anniversary Competition. After much discussion it was agreed not to implement this as a new ruling.
3.1 Referees Uniform. All referees and Timekeepers should be in similar dress. The
idea of T-shirt with tracksuit bottoms was discussed, but a unanimous vote
Decided that they should wear either, white shirt with tie and blazer, or a Fred
Perry style shirt, above black or grey trousers and black socks. Officials not
Wearing the above would not be permitted to participate in the competition.
List of Officials. Colin Carrot to provide all clubs with an updated list of officials
contact details. This to be done by post, as some members was wary of their mobile numbers appearing on the Internet. Competition organisers should be more responsible for getting officials to their competitions.
Age Banding. Trevor Davies and Greg Garside proposed the following age
groups, which after much discussion, were agreed upon. Under 8 years old, eights, nines and ten ears old, eleven and twelve’s, thirteen and fourteens, and espoires fifteen, sixteen and seventeen. Where these age groups apply, competitors will not be allowed to fight outside their own age category and will only permitted to move up one weight group. It was agreed that this should be trial for a one-year period.
I.B.F. Nationals. John Clarke stated that for this competition and other Y.J.C.
Events, the following would apply:
· No late Booking-in
· Judoka must make their stated weight group
· No moving up in weight categories
· Where only three people are in a pool, gold and silver medals will be presented to first and second place, and either a presentation medal or certificate awarded for third. Similarly, for groups of two people, the same applies with no silver medal.
· Participation medals or certificates for all entrants.
4. Dan Grade Syllabus. John Clarke took the group through the new Dan Grade
Syllabus introduced last year.
4.1 Kata Courses. Trevor and Greg are available to do courses with the possibility of
an examination pass at the end of certain courses. Students will still be called upon to demonstrate Nage-ne-kata and various techniques or sets from the other katas at their grading at Summer camp.
4.2 Qualifying Time Periods. The requirement for minimum periods between
Dan grading has been removed. However a reminder was issued that if you are not good enough, you will fail. Examples were given from last year’s camp.
5. Junior Syllabus. Trevor and Greg to cover this in the afternoon’s practical
session.
6. Summer Camp Grading. All Dan grading will now be at Summer camp, either
by attending the course and grading on the final day, or just by attending the grading.
7. Lesson Plans. Examples were circulated by John Clarke.
8. Any Other Business. Coaches were invited to put forward any suggestions of their own, or ask any questions.
8.1 Keith Costa. No Nottingham competitions this year, room for some-one else to
run one. Faversham to possibly organise a “mini-mons” and Bedford Girls may
run one at the end of February.
8.2 John Clarke. Stated his intention to visit more clubs on their training days.
8.3 Ian Parker asked about B.J.A. recognition of I.B.F. licences and grades. John
Clarke explained and gave examples of what he needed for grade recognition.
8.4 Steve Jacobs asked for clarification on the instructors’ course. Was it only for
new instructors? John replied that it should be used as a refresher for existing coaches of any standard as well.
8.5 Mark Vint expressed his concern at the lack of new members in clubs. Ideas
were put forward to promote clubs, demonstrations, leaflets, canvassing,
advertising etc.
8.6 Marcella Cullen. Can the grading syllabus be printed in the licence book? John
replied that this was in hand.
8.7 Paul Soulsby asked for clarification of the recreational licence. No grading, no
Competition and no coaching.
8.8 Miles Brown queried the health and safety issues of long hair. The answer was
that it must be tied back at all times.
8.9 Lee Reeves wanted clarification about insurance for novices on club nights.
This was referred to Martin Clarke. Martin later confirmed that it was generally
accepted that the first lesson was covered by club insurance, but after that the
judoka was expected to be licensed.
8.10 Colin Ogburn reminded us that not every-one has access to the Internet, and
that there still is a need for written letters.
8.11 Gary Watson asked that judoka be reminded of the need for personal hygiene
and competitors should wear clean, correct and appropriate clothing.
Break for refreshments, followed by the afternoons practical session.
