Family Membership Application

2009 USA Judo Club Membership Application

Life Membership Application
USA Judo athletes receive 100% of the amount given for Life Member dues.  None of the money is used for fundraising or administration costs.  It's all invested and the interest and dividends are used for scholarships.   It's the best, safest investment you can make that directly benefits the athletes.

Life members do not have to pay the full membership fee at once-you can choose to pay on a payment schedule, for as little as $25 each month.  And it means so much to the athletes it helps. In many cases, it makes the difference of whether or not they can continue training.
