We are pleased to announce that the club secured development grant funding to run a Level 0 fencing coaching course.

The Level 0 course concentrates on teaching group classes at the beginner level, as well as general coaching theory to enable you to run safe and effective beginner classes, demos and assist with group work at a club.  This is ideal for anyone who just wants to run intro sessions or beginner classes at schools, or help out around their club.

The requirements to achieve accreditation are also less than those required for Level 1, so if you’re not feeling ready to jump straight into Level 1 then Level 0 may give you a gentler introduction and boost your confidence for further coach training.

For our members, the course will be free.  You will need to be at least 16 years old by the time the course finishes, and currently affiliated.

The first of 4 sessions will be held on Sunday, April 10th, at the State Fencing Centre on Arden Street.  The next sessions will be scheduled for the term 3 and summer school holidays.

Please note that this is the first time in several years the Level 0 course has been run, and is only running now because of our grant.  If you want to do this course make sure you sign up for this one – it may be a long time until it runs again!
