Welcome!
The idea behind the Mini
Section is to provide an outlet for children who are too young for
Cubs and Brownies and other sporting clubs. The age group is four
weeks before their fifth birthday to just before they are eight;
after which they will then progress onto the Junior Section. Due
to BJA regulations, all players must have a licence after four weeks.
Players under 8 years old apply for the Kano licence, and follow
the Kano grading system.
Kano Awards
Kano Club
Kano club is aimed at children aged 5-8.
Each player receives a licence, attendance record card and a poster.
There are stickers and attendance badges, which are kept by our
Kano Secretary. An attendance badge is given out after 8 sessions,
there are 6 all together. There are 12 stickers, which are awarded
to players when they have achieved the picture on the sticker, from
tying your belt to throws. Grading take place approximately 3 times
a year. Once a player is 8 years old they may apply for a junior
(Mon) licence where they then grade from red to brown belt; however
they can carry on with the Kano system until they are 15 if they
wish. There is no waiting list to join this club, so just pitch
up on the day and have a look to see if your child wants to join
in the fun. While you're here why not get your child to try out
for free. It is imperative, however, that you complete the permissions
slip (contained within the membership form) before your child takes
to the mat.
We have five players who
have completed all 9 badges. After completiton all moved to the
mon grading system with a very extensive knowledge.
Coaching
The session is run by
Alison Finn 1st Dan & Luke Tavener 2nd Dan. The session was
originally started by Sue Hannam sadly passed away in September
2003. They are assisted by Lorna Gibbins, 1st Dan who is one of
the Youth Players, working towards her Instructors award.
Competition
& Interclub Training
Under the BJA rules, players
aged under 8 do not do competitions (however some of our under 8
players, with full licences, compete at BJC events). The sessions
we hold in Bristol County are inter-club under 8 training sessions,
these give the players an opportunity to train with children from
other clubs, we then have mini fights to show them what they will
need to do in competitions when they are 8, so that it is not as
scary! ALL the children receive an attendance medal, whether or
not they take part in the mini fights. I would encourage all our
under 8’s to take part, please bear in mind they will need to have
their Kano licences, and will need to advise in advance if they
wish to attend.
