Manitoba Fencing Association

Starting March 5, 2022

Refereeing is an important role within the sport of fencing. Referees are needed at competitions in order to ensure matches are managed by competent individuals acting with integrity, dignity, and a high level of fairness. Referees are also integral to creating a safe experience for athletes, coaches, and spectators.  Learning how to officiate can have positive impacts for an athlete’s own fencing ability as well.

The Canada Games (French: Jeux du Canada) is a multi-sport event held every two years, alternating between the Canada Winter Games and the Canada Summer Games. They represent the highest level of national competition for Canadian athletes. The Games have been hosted in every province at least once since their inception in Quebec City during Canada’s Centennial in 1967.

Coaches registered in the Canada Games electronic registration system must be certified under the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Competition-Development Context (certified status) in one of the fencing disciplines of foil, epee or sabre.

Coaches must be so certified no later than 90 days prior to the opening ceremony (November 20, 2022). Please note that “NCCP Competition-Development Certified, Not Renewed” does not qualify under the coaching standards for the 2023 Canada Winter Games.

All coaches who wish to apply for the CWG coach position are required to:

-participate in the organization and implementation of the 2022/23 Training Camps under the supervision of the Provincial Coach.

-attend all local competitions as well as travel with the CWG Squad to all out-of-province competitions during the 22/23 season.
