US Fencing Referee Certification Seminar:

Come improve your understanding of fencing rules and their applications with international referee Rylan Delap. The clinic will cover the knowledge and practical skills needed to become and grow as a US Fencing Referee. By discussing rule interpretations and officiating procedures, we'll help athletes, coaches, and parents advocate for themselves and deepen their understanding of the game in all three weapons. In addition, refereeing is a great way to contribute back to the sport.

This seminar fulfills one of the processes necessary to become a fencing referee. For more information, go to: https://www.usafencing.org/referees-process
