My Coaching Philosophy
My forte is in the grass roots level.
Over the last 30 odd years I have been coaching in many of the local primary, secondary schools and colleges as well as in the local community clubs.
Having set up a '5 week introduction to fencing' plan, I have delivered this to 95% of the primary schools in East Durham and County Durham itself; many for the second, third or 4th time. This has ensured that the clubs has had a continuing income of new youngsters.
I also endeavour to establish long term fencing groups within secondary schools like Emmanuel College in Gateshead and Dame Allan in Newcastle Upon Tyne

In order for a coach to show on the register we confirm that they meet *minimum* eligibility standards - in terms of suitable criminal record checks, minimum safeguarding training, and minimum entry level coaching qualifications. For more information on minimum standards please see here.

BF does not currently provide an additional verification process in relation to the other information supplied by coaches which shows above. Coaches can choose to provide as much or as little detail as they wish. However, if you have any concerns in relation to the information a coach is providing on the register you can contact us here.

Coaches are encouraged to work within their qualifications and competencies, and if they don't, they are not insured. For more information click here.

It is a sign of good practice that coaches have updated and recent (last 6 years) British Fencing coaching qualifications and assessments. For more information click here.
