Olympian Lele Nairne Launches Our New Girls‑Only Judo Sessions

We were honoured to welcome Olympian Lele Nairne to Core Judo Staines as she officially launched our brand‑new Girls Only Session — and what an inspiring way to begin this programme.

These dedicated sessions will run every six weeks, giving our female judoka a supportive space to train together, build confidence, and develop their skills alongside other girls in the club.

Having strong female role models in judo is incredibly important, and Lele brought exactly that energy to the mat. Her passion, professionalism, and encouragement left a real impact on our young athletes, motivating the next generation to aim high and enjoy their judo journey.

A huge thank you to Lele for joining us — we’re already looking forward to welcoming her back.

And a big shout‑out to the girls from Core Coaching for coming down and getting involved. Great to have you with us.
