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.

Cavaliers July 2013 Update

Epee Coach
Ben is working to help epee coach, Sam Jau of the Escrime RodezAveyron Club in to come to Perth and coach between September this year and June 2014.  He is looking for expressions of interest for individual lessons ($30/session) which will be sold in 10 lesson blocks.

Please write to Ben at wafaweb@yahoo.com if you need further details or wish to put forward an expression of interest.

Ben is also searching for accommodation for Sam and his wife over that period (even a month here or there would help), so any help you can offer would be gratefully accepted.
