ACT Fencing and Engarde Fencing Club hosted the first AFF Regional Camp on the weekend of August 10-11. National Foil and Sabre Coach Antonio Signorello, assisted by NSW Foil Coach Hugh Cotman ran a weekend of drills, video analysis, workshops, one-on-one lessons, bouts, pools and DEs. Although it was the first such State/Regional camp of it’s kind, the weekend was a great success and very enjoyable for all involved. Of particular value was the workshops for the local ACT Level-1 and trainee-coaches who all gained a better understanding of how to coach.
Over the next 12 months the National Coach is hoping to run Regional camps in all of the State Associations. The next scheduled Regional camp will be held in Perth on October 6-7. The camps are not restricted to AFT or AFS members.
