Young athletes in Venice can register for a non-competitive youth judo program running from September 10, 2026, through June 11, 2027, at the motor activity room of the former Gramsci School located at Piazzale Zendrini 7. Administered through the metropolitan 6SPORT voucher framework, the initiative introduces children and teenagers to traditional Japanese martial arts principles including friendship, integrity, respect, mutual support, and non-violence.
Program Schedule and Age Divisions
The training schedule divides participants into distinct age categories ranging from 6 to 18 years old. Sessions run three days per week at the Venice facility:
- Monday: 18:00 to 19:00 local time (UTC+1/+2)
- Wednesday: 18:00 to 19:00 local time (UTC+1/+2)
- Friday: 17:15 to 18:30 local time (UTC+1/+2)
Coaches structure the curriculum around foundational motor skills and technical basics tailored to youth development, emphasizing balance between physical conditioning and mental focus rather than competitive combat.
Fees, Equipment, and Affiliation Requirements
Registration involves several distinct cost components established by the organizing association. Families must pay a €50.00 fee covering enrollment and club affiliation. The annual course fee is set at €315.00, alongside a €35.00 charge for necessary training kits and equipment. Participants receive official memberships through the Federazione Italiana Judo Lotta Karate Arti Marziali (FIJLKAM), the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), and a recognized promotion entity. A valid medical certificate is mandatory for all participants prior to taking the mat.

Enrollment requires completing the association and course registration paperwork. Families seeking further information regarding voucher utilization through the metropolitan portal or training specifics can contact coordinator Antonio Capria by phone at 3382729060 or via email at [email protected].
