International Coaching and Performance Course

The BAF is planning an International Coaching and Performance weekend on May 21st and 22nd at the Sir Stanley Matthews Sports Centre in Stoke on Trent.

 Maestro Roberto Piranio (CV below) will be coming over from Italy to run the course with Prof. Philip Bruce.  It is possible that we will also have other European and British Fencing Masters assiting.  

Plans are to run the course from 10 am to 4pm on the Saturday and Sunday of the weekend, with a dinner on Saturday evening for those who wish to have a social element to the event.  All three weapons will be covered and we are setting a minimum age of 13 for participants (we will be requesting that any participants under the age of 17 should have a few years of fencing and competitive experience under their belt) 

Lunch will be included in the ticket price which will be as follows   £45 per head if you have booked by April 20th, £47.50 per head thereafter, £50 within 2 weeks and £55 on the day. A light lunch and refreshments will be included in the ticket price   Any coach who comes with a group of at least 5 participants will be invited to attend free of charge.  They may choose to participate, to assist with coaching or to simply observe.
