ADP COACHES

ACCREDITED PERSONAL COACHES

If you wish to apply to attend in the capacity of a personal coach you must register in advance with BF. Personal Coaches must apply for accreditation to each event using the following form. As a reminder, personal coaches must not coach against fellow GBR fencers during international competitions.

All coaches, including personal coaches, must be on the BF Coaching Register.

EFC Licence – you need a licence to compete
From 1st August 2021, you must apply for the EFC licence through the British Fencing Membership Portal. The EFC licence is valid for the current season only and is required for all EFC competitions.
Please go to bf.sport80.com – log in using your membership login details; click on the Licences tab and follow the directions for an EFC licence.

Important Information
All selections are subject to possession of a British passport/certificate of British Citizenship.

A selection email from Sport80 will follow this post within 24 hours. Fencers must confirm the selection by following the instructions in the selection email including making any payment due. Athletes who have not made payment will not be confirmed. Any athlete that clicks to accept a place and subsequently fails to make a payment by the due date may be charged an administration fee.

All BF Codes of Conduct apply to athletes, parents, coaches and officials and attention are drawn in particular to the Code of Conduct for Youth Events.

Trip Costs
Referee Contribution: £90.  Each EFC squad will require 3 referees (or a 500 euro fine per missing referee – which could happen at the last minute eg if a referee tests positive for COVID). BF, through the ADP, will be subsidising the additional costs of fines/travel where required. Rules around referee quotas and fines can be found on the EFC website here

Administration: £10 (£20 per head subsidy by BF)

Please note all places must be accepted and paid for within 48 hours of notification from the BF membership platform (Sport80) unless notified otherwise.

Equipment requirements

  • FIE equipment should be used (800 NW clothes, 1600 NW masks, 800 NW plastron and FIE homologated blades).
  • Name and country printed on the back of the jacket/lame are not required.
  • The ‘GBR’ patch is not required for cadets. These are required for athletes that have been selected for Cadet European or World Championships, or FIE Junior or FIE Senior international events.

Ensure your kit is in full working order, with all weapons and body-wires tested for continuity, resistance, and weight. You must do this before leaving the UK as there may not be an armoury service or an equipment stall at the event. Having your equipment well maintained can mean the difference between hits registering or not. There will be weapon control. Different competitions check different items – so be prepared for everything to have to pass weapons control.

Travel
Please make sure you have read the international travel notice and England, Scotland and Northern Ireland entry and exit requirements and rules for the UK there are no exemptions for competing as a GBR athlete. Please also make sure you are aware of the entry requirements and travel advice for France

Parents are responsible for travel arrangements and the welfare of athletes.

Please visit the GBR Cadet page for more information about Anti-doping, Kit requirements, Guide to Weapon Checks and so forth
