Active participation and volunteering.
Alongside our Fencing training we will seek to provide
a number of (free) sessions on topics of interest to fencers
and parents of junior fencers: we will seek your views
on what sessions would be most useful but topics that
have been suggested already include:
• Junior Competitions – what to expect and
how to support
• Progression to Cadets (and beyond)
• Introduction to the Regional Academy programme
(of British Fencing)
• Nutrition
• Sports psychology and mental preparation/Meditation
• Strength and Conditioning
.
