Coaching Conference Day 2024
April 7, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Kelly Staddon is coming to town!
We’re delighted to announce that Kelly Staddon will be our lead for the 2024 Coaching Conference to be held in the Lisburn Racquets Club on the 7th April.
A full day of learning, time on the mat and for the first time ever No-Gi Judo lead by Kelly on the Sunday morning.
A bit about Kelly…
Kelly is a 3rd Dan Judoka, former member of the GB squad and an accomplished competitor, fighting and winning medals across the globe.
She has moved her skillset into mixed martial arts, where she has retained Judo as her base and added multiple other elements to her capabilities.
She is now a professional fighter, has over 110k followers on Instagram (@livingwell_kelly) and is a wealth of combat sport knowledge.
Kelly will be leading a full day of learning and in the morning, this will include a No-Gi Judo session, to which our Pathway Players are invited to so that they can train and also meet Kelly on the mats.
But that’s not all…
Kelly is an acclaimed nutritionist and boasts clients such as Chelsie Giles and other elite athletes in her portfolio.
She will be imparting her skills and knowledge in the classroom as well as on the mats.
Everyone will leave empowered with new skills and knowledge!
