Toine Hodgkiss

Toine has been a lifesaver at our Judo Club. He runs 2 sessions for the younger age groups which start age 5 and go up to age 19 and then trains himself with the senior session and so commits to being at the club from 9am to 1pm each Saturday. He coaches the sessions and is there to help put out and pack away the judo mats each week. Not only this but he is at University in Brighton studying Architecture and holds down a Sunday job in a supermarket. Without his dedication the club could not have continued as the main coach has been ill in the last 2 years. Toine also coaches the young people at competitions whenever he can and drives himself to essential training sessions. He is so friendly and patient and shows such dedication for someone so young it is with great pleasure that I nominate him.
