    2007 USFA Coaches College

    We are very pleased to finally announce the approval of the 2007 Edition of Coaches College and Armorers College schedule by the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

    Please bear with us a few more days as we finalize our course and Session schedules. In addition to the Coaches College and Armorer College courses, we will again be offering the 'Become A Fencing Instructor' for PE Teachers and the 'Wheelchair Coaching course'

    Information will be posted at:
    http://www.usfacoaching.org/


    Thanks for your understanding, this is a scheduling issue that was out of the control of the USFA and the Coaches College/Armorers College.

    Minimal information, but gives at least an indication:

    FYI: Session 1 = July 12 (Red Cross Arrival day - 13 = arr for others) to July 21(depart day)

    Am I reading the Armorer's application correctly in that there's no L1 being offered this year? I was looking forward to getting my feet wet.

    Also, does anyone know how the gym space was resolved? I'm more curious than anything.
    You have two opponents, the one standing on the strip, and the one standing to the side of it.

    Oi, it goes the other way for armorers. They start at level 3, and work their way up... or down...

    I was always curious, what if you were already rated for first aid and CPR, but via the American Heart Association instead of Red Cross. I know where CPR/AED training is concerned, they are pretty much identical in their protocols, now.

    Y'know....there's medication for that, Allen.
    Need fencing equipment? See me at H.O.M. Fencing Supply

    Going to your first tournament? Read "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)"
