Sarah Jones joins #BFLearningMonth 2026 with ‘Planning Your Cadet Season, Competitions, Selection and the GBR PATHWAY’, taking place on Tuesday 18th August, 12.00-13.30
Date: Tuesday 18th August, 12.00-13.30
Host: Sarah Jones (BF Head Of Talent)
The session introduces the Cadet GBR Pathway, helping athletes and parents understand development stages, season and competition planning, rankings, selection, and major events. Designed for both athletes entering the Cadet pathway and those already competing within it, the session provides valuable insight into the opportunities, expectations, and support available throughout the season. It also covers the behaviours, support roles, parent responsibilities, administration, safeguarding, and resources needed to navigate the pathway confidently.
If you have any questions about this session, please contact [email protected].
Due to popular demand and feedback from previous iterations of BF Learning Week, BF has now extended the event to a Learning Month. Now named BF Learning Month, this year’s event will be taking place between the 23rd July and 21st August 2026.
It is an annual opportunity for our members and wider community to join online developmental and informative sessions in subjects from coaching to community development.
BF Learning Month is also supporting the first online International Fencing Research Committee (IFRC) Conference. The IFRC welcomes leading researchers, coaches, and practitioners from around the world to explore the latest advances in fencing science and methodology.
