Referee Course 2024/25

Refereeing is an important role within the sport of fencing; they 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.
