Cadet & Junior Commonwealth Fencing Championships 2024 Report

Coaching Courses

Well done to everyone in the squad who represented Wales at this year’s event. This was a true team effort, and every fencer should be proud of their performances both on and off the piste. The support given to their team-mates was as Welsh as ever…….loud, proud and always positive!

Special congratulations go to Alexander James and Ava Davies, who secured silver and bronze medals in CMF and CWS respectively.

We now look forward to the next Commonwealth Championships in 2026 (venue TBC) where it is hoped that all age groups will compete at the same event!

Welsh Fencing Articles

Safeguarding

safeguarding

We believe that the welfare of children and adults at risk is everyone’s responsibility, particularly when it comes to protecting children from abuse. Everyone in fencing – administrator, club official, coach, parent, friend, children themselves, everyone – can help. This section details the policies, procedures and documents for Welsh Fencing.

Anti-Doping

Anti-doping is an important part of all National Governing Body’s responsibility. British Fencing take a clear lead on many aspects, however, as the NGB here in Wales, there are some crucial actions that we ne need to take to ensure that all Welsh Fencers are aware of the responsibilities on them, and where information and support can be accessed.

Athlete Development Programme

WF are pleased to introduce the ADP Cymru - an Athlete Development Programme focussed on the needs of Welsh fencers. We want to create a fencing organisation that the people of Wales can be proud to represent, support and aspire to be part of; creating a group that exhibits the best standards of personal character but also excels in technical, physical and tactical competence. Follow the link for more details on this programme.

Online Shop

We have worked with a local supplier, Olorun Sports, to design a bespoke set of kit that reflects the Welsh national colours of green and red. The aim is to give all members a clearer identity as Welsh fencers.
