Coaches for Beginners Courses

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A COACH?

Coaches for the Beginner Courses hold the most important and influential position in the Club.

It is during this course that our prospective members get their first feel of Fencing and make the decision to either leave the sport or join the Club to become regular and productive members.

Cavs is desperately in need of the right people to train up for this position. 

Changes to AFC entry process

Copy of email from AFF
Dear Fencer / Parent / Coach,
This email is to advise of changes associated with athlete entry to events at the AFC3 tournament in Melbourne in late August.  The new entry process has been prototyped and tested with AFC2 (Late Entries) and AFC Cadets / Under-15s (Late Entries and Overseas Entries).  It was also used extensively for CFC in 2010, and is being used for AFT/AFS and Regional camp registrations.
Last Friday, registrations for fencers opened for AFC3 in the AFF Registration and Payment system (“ARPS”), and registrations have already started to be received for AFC3 using this system.
The main change to event entry is that you do not need to register through your State Association; registration is handled centrally by the AFF.
