Referee Seminar with the President of FIE Refereeing Commission – Irina Knysch

The Australian Fencing Federation (AFF) is excited to announce a referee seminar will be held for referees, athletes, and coaches on the eve of the 2024 Australian Youth and Cadet Championships in Sydney.

The seminar aims to educate and improve refereeing at all levels across Australia.
Session Content will include:
• Introduction
• Responsibilities of referees and fencers
• Hand Signals
• Overview and correct interpretation of FIE Rules (technical, material and organisation rules)
• Offences and penalties
• Q&A.

The session will be held at the NSW Fencing Centre, Alexandria, Sydney, on Friday, July 5th, 2024, from 4 pm to 8 pm, in cooperation with NSWFA.

Not in Sydney, we have you covered; we will also livestream the session and take questions before the session to be answered.

To register your attendance for either the in-person session or the live stream, complete the registration form HERE. Registrations will close at 11 p.m. on Thursday, July 4th, 2024.

This opportunity has arisen from our collaboration with the New Zealand Fencing Federation and supported by Oceania Fencing Confederation.
Ms. Knysch will be making the stop in Australia on her way to Christchurch for the Commonwealth Junior and Cadet Championships in New Zealand.
