Updated for the 2024-25 season.
Coach Education — New Coaches
If you're new to coaching in the 2024-25 season, you're required to complete the Foundation of Fencing Coaching Course.
Find the module within our content management system, FenceLab.
As a coach, you will have 90 days after you purchase your membership to complete the modules that comprise the Foundations of Fencing course. Until you complete your education requirements, your Coach membership status will show as (pending).
If you have any questions regarding the program, please email information@usafencing.org.
Coach Education — Returning Coaches
If you're a returning coach in the 2024-25 season, you are not required to take any additional coaching education courses.
While USA Fencing will still provide online course offerings and recorded speaker series events for coaches and members, the coaching education requirements (CEUs) have been removed.
These modules will remain as an optional resource for coaches wanting to expand their knowledge.
While we have coaching materials in FenceLab, we also encourage you to visit the USFCA website to find coaching education materials.
