USA Fencing Suspends New Rule, SEP 9 Tourney, and Referee Clinic

USA Fencing Suspends New Rule
So, remember my last post about the new USA Fencing and the new Strip Coaching Rule?  Well, USA Fencing has suspended that new rule.  Nothing has changed, coaches, teammates, and parents can continue to provide strip side coaching during tournaments. https://www.usafencing.org/news_article/show/1283147

Teens! Interested in getting rated as a referee?
There is an online referee clinic.  The path to becoming a rated referee including taking a class (now offered online), passing the exam (taken on your own time), and referreeing and being observed at a sanctioned event.  If you are interested in doing the online class, Lisa Campi-Sapery, long time friend to North Carolina Fencing, and Coach Gerhard, is hosting an online referee class.  Details and registration is available here:  https://www.askfred.net/clinics/3bdb85d9-a391-469e-a51c-e0dc616d9d32
