Hello!

Coach Avery here. I’ve been focusing on Van Diemen Fencing Club, my role as President of the Tasmanian Fencing Association Inc, and my role as State Epee Coach, so I paused the website for a while but kept-up the fencing tasters, classes, and equipment sales.

I’ve just spent a fantastic eight days at the Sydney International Fencing Camp, organised by Bill Ronald OAM OLY, undertaking the coaching professional development program.

My coaching (and fencing) skills have received a huge boost thanks to Maestro Enrico di Ciolo, Maestra Virginia, their three assistants - Nicol, Tommaso and Giulio -, my coaching peers, the athletes we worked with, and my three wonderful OFC assessors for the Oceania Fencing Confederation Epee Coach Level 2 qualification; Kate Brill, Leon Thomas, and Judit Filszar.

I am filled with excitement to share these skills with the Tasmanian fencing community this year.

Bring it on!
