Competitive player
Awarded to someone that has excelled in their particular competitive level this year. This may mean medals, it may simply be improvement in their performance at competition.
Most Improved
Should be fairly self explanatory! A player who has applied themselves to developing their Judo. This could be things like finally conquering a technique they had struggled with or a fairly broad improvement across the board.
Beginner of the year
Awarded to a beginner who has applied themselves fully to Judo since arriving at university. Trains well and works hard in sessions, will have done a grading (or two) by the end of the year. May have taken part in first competition.
Spirit of Judo
This is probably the most 'open' award that is hardest to give clear criteria for.
Typically things we might expect from someone to be given this award:
- fully embrace the mutual benefit aspect of Judo
- works hard in training
- to applies themselves to Judo
- overcome particular difficulties they are experiencing in Judo
