Did you know that Shufu has an Athlete Funding Program? Shufu’s Athlete Funding Program provides reimbursement ($150 to $300) for athletes competing in national and international level events. If you have been a member of Shufu for at least 2 years and have participated in national or international events, then you should consider applying for Shufu’s Athlete Funding Program. Juniors, Seniors, Masters/Veterans, and Kata competitors can all apply to the Shufu Athlete Funding Program. Please see the Funding Support for Athletes link below for the complete details on the Shufu Athlete Funding Program.

Coach Certification

SafeSport Certification is now required for all USJF registered clubs. If you have already completed the course and submitted a copy of your certificate, you do not need to resubmit. For more information or to take the course, please visit https://athletesafety.org/

Heads Up concussion training, through the CDC’s website, is a requirement for all members of your USJF registered club who function as teachers at any time. Please advise all of your instructors and assistant instructors of this requirement. The training can be accessed at: http://www.cdc.gov/headsup/

Hilaire Notewo Seeking Donations for Judo Programs in the Ivory Coast, Needs Gis and Equipment

Longtime Shufu Judo member Hilaire Notewo is planning to relocate to Côte D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Africa in late November/December. He will be supporting judo programs, but equipment (esp. judo uniforms) are difficult to come by. Hilaire is looking for gently used judo gis and other equipment. Hilaire will also be visiting and donating goods to orphanages. Should you have gently used shoes, clothes for teenagers, youths, and toddlers, kindly make them available to Hilaire.

If you would like to donate to this effort, you can send your donation to the following address:

Hilaire Notewo

7401 New Hampshire Ave. #1003

Takoma Park, MD 20912

Or contact him via his email address: hilson79@gmail.com 202 945 3781.
