Pembroke Fencing Club has adopted the Fencing Ireland Achievement Awards Scheme as the coaching model for our beginner-intermediate level fencers. There are 9 levels of accreditation for each fencer to attain, starting with level 1, the most basic, to level 9, which is very advanced. The assessment of each fencer who wishes to take part will occur on a set date, which will be displayed on the Fencing Ireland website, and recognised coaches will carry out each assessment and award a pass where appropriate. We have targeted a general progression for each fencer of 2 levels per year from beginner up.
The benefits of the scheme are:
- Challenging Award Scheme
- Sustains interest
- Monitors progress
9 Awards for children 12+ and 6 awards for children U12
Tracksuit badge and certificate for each award.
It also ensures that each fencing skill, as determined by the PFC, will be taught to our junior fencers.
