Leadership through fencing course
On January 26th Radcliffe Sword Club will be hosting a Leadership through fencing course at Clifton Leisure Centre. The aim of the course is to give junior fencers aged between 13 and 18 skills they can use in their fencing clubs and the wider world. There has been a lot of success with this course being run in schools but this will be the first time it has run in a club setting. We are looking for a group of 12 people aged between 13 and 18 and 10 coaches from around the East Midlands region to participate in this course. If you are a coach and would like to take part in this exciting new project to be able to take it back to your club and run courses in the future or you have a junior fencer who would like to have a bit more confidence in themselves and gain a qualification then please e-mail Jenna on EMcadets@gmail.com.
