JUDO

"Judo" is made of two Japanese words: “je” and “do”. Ju means “gentle,” and do means “the way,” so put together, the word “Judo” literally translates to “the gentle way”. The development of character, mind, and body. Judo is fun, safe, social, active, and provides a positive learning environment. It also helps build confidence and coordination and promotes anti-bullying and self-protection.

Saskatoon Seals Underwater Hockey Club

The Saskatoon Seals Underwater Hockey (UWH) Club is a safe, non-contact sport played between two teams at the bottom of a pool. Players maneuver a weighted puck along the bottom of the pool into the opposing team’s goal using 12-inch sticks shaped like car window ice-scrapers. Players hold their breath and dive to the bottom of the pool to push, pass or steal the puck from opponents.

UWH is an exhilarating sport that gives you an incredible cardio workout and will leave you literally breathless at times! We have had players from 8 years old to 75 years old and of all shapes and sizes. We welcome all potential players of any ability or skill level, players use a mask, fins & snorkel and we teach you how to use them. Come on out & try!

Registration is recommended but not required
