My Coaching Philosophy
I believe in giving people of all abilities the opportunity to express themselves and have fun with fencing. For those with a disability it is a unique opportunity to show what you can do, rather than constantly being told you can't do this or that. Fencing is a great physiotherapy tool and can also build or restore self confidence and self esteem where necessary.

In order for a coach to show on the register we confirm that they meet *minimum* eligibility standards - in terms of suitable criminal record checks, minimum safeguarding training, and minimum entry level coaching qualifications. For more information on minimum standards please see here.

BF does not currently provide an additional verification process in relation to the other information supplied by coaches which shows above. Coaches can choose to provide as much or as little detail as they wish. However, if you have any concerns in relation to the information a coach is providing on the register you can contact us here.

Coaches are encouraged to work within their qualifications and competencies, and if they don't, they are not insured. For more information click here.

It is a sign of good practice that coaches have updated and recent (last 6 years) British Fencing coaching qualifications and assessments. For more information click here.
