One calendar year of coaching course dates for you to add to your diary.
The Fencing Development Team has been working to plan a schedule of coaching courses for the next season. We hope that this will give members a chance to save the date and book a place on courses well in advance of the date to prevent cancellations.
Please be aware that cancellations may occur if there are not enough sign-ups to make courses viable. Please bear this in mind when booking travel or accommodation and where possible, select refundable options.
You will see as well that there may be more than one course on the same weekend in different locations around the country. If you feel that your region is not well served, get in touch with development@britishfencing.com and we can work with you to try and host a bespoke course in your area.
Bookings made more than six weeks prior to the course start date will be eligible for a discount.
This is our two-day introductory course aimed at club helpers and coaches who want to be able to deliver group/class sessions. This course also has an online option where some work is done prior to a one-day face-to-face session.
