All USJA Club Coaches,
Due to the Pandemic this past year, our students are struggling to obtain the required activity points for their promotions in several states. After discussions with several of our high-ranking Dan’s, we would like to offer the following additional options for your Junior or Senior KYU Students earning Miscellaneous Points. If you have other thoughts on how we can continue to motivate students during this time, please let me know. Stay safe!
