At the beginning of September, the club secretary opens the extranet to enter the first licenses of the season. The old identifier no longer works, the password has been reset by the federation, and the email address linked to the license is three years old. This scenario recurs every new school year in many French dojos. The judo extranet, which has become the administrative control center for clubs affiliated with the FFJDA, deserves attention to avoid these recurring blockages.
License email address and judo extranet access: the friction point
The new extranet is based on a simple principle: you log in with the email address provided on your license form. No need for a digital identifier assigned by the league. Password reset is done in self-service, directly from the login page.

The problem is that many license holders declared an email address several seasons ago without ever updating it. When the address is outdated or shared among several family members, the recovery procedure loops endlessly. Before even accessing the extranet at the start of the season, it’s wise to check that each leader and teacher has an individual and active email address on their license.
For clubs discovering the new interface, the judo extranet guide on L’Esprit du Sport details the steps for first-time login and common mistakes to avoid.

License and grade management on the FFJDA platform
The extranet is no longer just a consultation space. It functions as a daily management tool where the club enters, validates, and tracks its federal data in real-time.
Entering licenses at the start of the season
Data entry is done license holder by license holder or via bulk import. Each record contains contact details, the medical certificate (or health questionnaire attestation), and the grade level. An incomplete license remains blocked until the required documents are attached.
Feedback varies on the fluidity of bulk import depending on the browsers used. On this point, the video tutorials provided by France Judo on the page dedicated to the new extranet cover each module step by step.
Tracking grades and promotions
Grade promotions are recorded directly in the extranet by the teacher or authorized responsible person. The judoka can then find their history in their personal space. For higher grades validated by the regional or national commission, the update is done on the federation side, but the club can check the status of the file from its dashboard.
Club extranet and France Judo ecosystem: what has changed
The new extranet is part of a broader shift. The federation has grouped its services under the France Judo brand, moving away from the historically fragmented FFJDA logic across multiple portals. Some processes that previously went through the league’s website or a paper form now transit through a unified portal.
In practical terms, this means that features that were previously scattered are centralized in a single space: license management, communication with members, educational resources, access to the federal shop, and even the creation of the club’s website via an integrated service.
- The communication platform allows for disseminating news and managing club promotion from the extranet, without external tools.
- The service monlogo.ffjudo.com allows clubs to create or update their graphic identity directly online.
- Recruitment for civic service is accessible from the club space, with job descriptions and associated procedures.
This centralization simplifies daily operations, but it also makes the club more dependent on a single access point. If the main administrator account is blocked, all club management stops. It is recommended to declare at least two leaders with administrative rights on the extranet.
Club data and security on the judo extranet
The extranet concentrates sensitive information: contact details of license holders (including minors), simplified medical data, grade history. Securing this data relies on a few concrete actions that many clubs neglect.
- Each user must have their own email/password pair. A shared account between the president and the treasurer prevents any traceability in case of erroneous modifications.
- The password should be changed at least once per season, ideally at the start of September.
- The club’s contact details (dojo address, phone, public contact email) must be verified each year. This information feeds into the federal directory “Find a Club” visible to the general public.
Outdated contact details in the extranet mean families cannot find the club on the France Judo website. For a dojo looking to recruit, this is a direct hindrance.
Teachers and extranet: specific access rights
Teachers have access distinct from that of leaders. Their profile allows them to validate grade promotions, consult the license records of their club, and access educational resources posted online by the national technical directorate.
A teacher cannot modify the club’s administrative information (contact details, bank account, board composition). This separation of rights avoids manipulation errors, but it assumes that the club has correctly assigned roles in the extranet. If a teacher is also the president, they need two levels of cumulative rights on the same account, which can be configured from the club’s administrator profile.
The judo extranet remains an evolving tool. France Judo has announced the gradual discontinuation of the old extranet, making mastery of the new interface essential for the upcoming season. Taking an hour at the start of the school year to verify access, update license emails, and assign the correct rights is the minimum to avoid losing three weeks in October over connection issues.
