At the moment we are in the process of setting up 2 centres to deliver the national academy programme, Birmingham and SUNEE (North East). It also contains an application form for completion by fencers who are not on the automatic invitation list by their National ranking. Background The formal launch of the British Fencing National Academy took place earlier this year with 2 pilot training days & a residential week at Nottingham Trent University. Over 100 fencers & 70 staff were involved. The Academy has been established to help us deliver our vision of becoming a “world leading fencing family”, and has three areas of focus: Talent Development, Education and Club Development. With these regional centres we are starting the ongoing national programme which will develop over the next few years. It will deliver support to fencers, coaches and parents through a national and regional framework and in time will have support through a “virtual Academy”, with online resources. The aim of the Talent Development strand of the Academy is to provide an opportunity for fencers with talent and desire to develop and prepare for life as an international athlete. It is based on the Long Term Athlete Development Framework (LTAD) for Fencing, available on the British Fencing web site at www.britishfencing.com/academy/ltad/. It is a holistic training and education programme which seeks to give fencers the education and skills to reach their full potential as a successful senior athlete. It aspires to bring together world leading experts in a range of fields such as psychology, strength and conditioning, injury prevention, rest, physiotherapy, nutrition, balancing education with sport and planning. Upwards of 1000 fencers will be included in regional & national activities by 2013 & the aspiration is to have all national squads & national teams selected from the Academy fencers in time. There is a standing invitation to the personal coaches of the Academy fencers to attend every National Academy session (providing these coaches are suitably registered). Partnerships British Fencing are very pleased to announce that we have made an agreement with the five Universities in the North East to deliver the National Academy on a regional level. Coaches We can also announce that we have appointed a team of Beth Davidson and Iain Aberdeen to run the British Fencing Academy, SUNEE. The timetable of the National Academy regional delivery is available on the Academy page of the British Fencing web site www.britishfencing.com/academy. This page also gives our fencers access to resources developed during the Summer camp. Sport Universities North East England (SUNEE) This is a partnership between 5 universities in the North East: Durham University, Newcastle University, Northumbria University, University of Sunderland & Teesside University. The North East has a strong history of supporting fencing at the Universities and also in the region. Fencing has been a focus sport for the region as well as a performance sport at several of the Universities. The planned facility development shows the levels of investment in this area specific to fencing and illustrates the Universities’ commitment to the sport. The Universities have a history of working closely with the relevant County Sport Partnerships. The Regional Fencing Development Officer is hosted by Northumbria University, again illustrating the links between fencing and the Universities. British Fencing Academy Application Applications are now sought from fencers who would like to join this new British Fencing programme. Some of the places available will be automatic by national ranking & some will be by application. The list of fencers who are invited to become part of the National Academy is in this document, this includes all the fencers who attended the National Academy Summer camp in August 2010. It is important to note that we are starting regional delivery of the British Fencing National Academy programme. This means that fencers who are taking part in the regional sessions will become part of the National Academy & are expected to adhere to the standards this programme will set. Initial selection will be largely based on national rankings & will focus on the cadet age group (born 9496). There will also be spaces open to some junior fencers (born 91 -93). Fencers who are selected for the National Academy regional programme will be normally be expected to commit to attend all the sessions in the calendar. The dates of these are available on the British Fencing web site at http://www.britishfencing.com/academy/national_academy_calendar/ & below. Not every fencer who trains with the National Academy in each regional will be able to attend the National sessions. There is a limit of 20 fencers per weapon so if the sessions are oversubscribed there may be an additional selection process within this group. British Fencing Academy, SUNEE. Training days 10-11 28 Dec, 23 Jan, 17 Apr, 26 Jun, 31 Jul, 4 Sept, 23 Oct, 6 Nov, 27 Dec Selection for British Fencing Academy, SUNEE 2010-11 Fencers will be invited to take part in the regional delivery of the National Academy programme by place on the national cadet rankings. There will also be places available for other fencers who will need to complete an application form. Selection for fencers who are not on the selection-by-ranking list will be done by the regional coach in consultation with British Fencing. All ranking lists taken as at 11th October 10 The fencers who will be automatically selected for the regional training weekends will be as follows:The top 12 fencers born 94 or earlier The top 10 fencers born 95 or earlier The top 8 fencers born 96 or later All fencers who attended the National Academy Summer camp in August 2010 There will be a limit of 20 fencers per weapon in each regional centre. We would expect all fencers to attend their nearest regional centre but there may be a limited number of exceptions to this. There may be some additional selection if the first few regional activities are oversubscribed. National Academy Selection Model This model illustrates selection for academy programmes, not selection for European or World championships. At the moment our selection systems for cadet do not take fencers differing levels of maturity & relative age effect into account & we are looking to create structures to address these problems. Please see the British Fencing LTAD model for more information http://www.britishfencing.com/academy/ltad/ Costs The setup of the programme is part of the England Development Project & as such will use resources & expertise developed for the Academy as well as officer time assigned to this project. However the programme must be set up in such a way that will be sustainable for the long-term goals & processes that are being put in place now. Because of this the sessions will cost of £40 for each fencer (this will be discounted for those who pay for several sessions in advance). This payment can be done by posting a cheque to British Fencing or over the phone to the British Fencing office (there will be a £2 surcharge for this). Timetable Each day will start at 9am and will finish at 5pm. Full timetable will be published in due course.
