Goals & Objectives:

The goal of these coordinators is to facilitate grassroots development at the local and regional level.  The regional coordinator does not have to be a technical expert, marketing specialist, “Sensei” or club owner.  He/she does not (and probably should not) be the primary host of camps, clinics, etc.  Rather, he/she should contact and encourage many clubs and individuals to participate and host events aimed at increasing participation in judo.
