New Squad Format

The QFA squads have changed times and format.  Senior squads will run twice each week, once on Saturdays and once on a week night.  All senior squads will now be weapon-specific.  The night on which weeknight sessions will run has yet to be determined, but will be advertised here as soon as possible.  The cost for senior squads will be $240 for an eight week block if attending twice per week, or $160 if only once per week.  It is possible for fencers to train with different weapon squads on the weeknight and weekend sessions, but they must nominate which squads they will train with at the start of each block, and may not change for the duration of the block.  The times for the weekend sessions will be 12 noon till 2 pm on Saturdays.

The school squads will run from 2-4 pm on Saturdays.  School squad members may attend senior training sessions for $80 additional if the attend one session per week or $160 for two.  Again, they may train in different weapons with the senior squads, but must nominate which sessions they will train in which weapons.

QFA Development Forum

QFA is hosting a forum to discuss the future development of fencing in Queensland. The forum is being scheduled as part of the upcoming National Development Scheme which is being developed by the AFF to create a unified approach to development issues at a National, State and Club Level. This forum is designed to allow people to have a say about how the sport should be promoted and enhanced in Queensland at a community, school and club level. Representatives from all clubs and schools, as well as parents and fencers are being invited to participate. If you would like to know more about current or planned QFA policies and initiatives, or if you would like to contribute to the discussion about how QFA might develop fencing, then please come along to some or all of the sessions.
