As a region, we can enter up to 2 fencers per weapon. If there are more then 2 expressions of interest, we will use the results from the Welsh National Championships to select the fencers.
Nominations will close on 31st March 2023 and selections will be confirmed shortly afterwards.
The Board have updated the Selection Policy, and submit it to the membership for feedback. The policy follows much of the existing policies and elements from the British Fencing selection policy. It is intended to provide further clarity on the processes, criteria and eligibility for selection.
WF are pleased to introduce the ADP Cymru - an Athlete Development Programme focussed on the needs of Welsh fencers.

The primary function of the Commonwealth Fencing Federation is to encourage the development of Fencing within Commonwealth countries and territories.

teamo is a communications platform, used to support team selection and communication. The platform is app-based, and allows parents to register their children. It is fully GDPR-compliant and allows parents to see any comms and invitations directed to their children, and respond on their behalf. It reduces the need for emails, which are difficult to track, and often missed because they end up in Junk folders.
