2013 The Year Ahead
Training for 2013 will pick up from where we left off in 2012. Our tournament program for 2012 was very successful yielding 2 gold and one silver medal at the Taekwondo Australia Festival held at Olympic Park in Sydney. In October we started our junior sports program in the lead up to the States first competion in three years which will be held on the first weekend in May
Our calendar of events has been updated for 2013 for all dates that are relevant to training for the year, make sure you mark them in your diary. Members will soon receive the club newsletter via email / mail and it will be available for download soon.
High performance training will continue on Wednesday nights at our Moonah centre and resume on Wednesday the 20th February. Training will lead into the different competition events planned for the year and attendance will be compulsory for those members wishing to continue on to State and National competition for the year.
For all our members think about what you want to achieve this year from your training.. Set yourself a realistic goal for the year and set your mind on acheiving it. Always remember that success is a journey, not a destination. All our instructors will be there to assist you in acheiving your aims. We wish you well for the year ahead.
DALE EAGLING TAEKWONDO AWARDED APPROVAL AS A "CHILD SAFE ORGANISATION"
In 2010 Dale Eagling’s Taekwondo received and was presented with an Approval Certificate from Child Wise as being a “Child Safe Organisation”. This has been a major task for the club over the last 5 years in reviewing their Member Protection Policy and, in consultation with Child Wise, have now had their Policy Approved.
Our club is the first organisation in Australia (private or public sector) to receive such a certificate. The benefits to the club are immeasurable, as it promotes a better understanding within the community and above all provides SAFE places for children to learn the art of Taekwondo. For more details please contact Child Wise on www.childwise.net or speak with Hugh or Angela Eagling about the club's experience.
DETKD is a Child Safe organisation and is committed to the protection of children and young people. We have a Member Protection Policy in place to ensure a friendly and safe environment in which to experience Taekwondo.

2012 - Dale Eagling Memorial Championships
The 9th Annual Dale Eagling Memorial Championships was held on Sunday the 15th of November. The Memorial Championship is our favorite event for the year and has again been a favorite amongst club members. Compeition this year was a very high standard and gave players the chance to display the skills they have achieved throughout the year. The competition is an event for all members to have a friendly competition with no pressure, an event to enjoy and sample the true benefits of Taekwondo without the pressure of a full competition. The club championships focuses on traditional Taekwondo style events and does not include sparring. Events include: Poomsae, Creavtive Poomsae. Jumping high kick, multi station kicking events, artisic expression and breaking. Again the senior jumping high kick competition was a crowd favorite with a hotly contested field.
