Code of Conduct
Jul 29, 2010In order to ensure a safe, productive and sportsmanlike atmosphere for all our members,
everyone that uses our facility must adhere to our code of conduct and is expected to one another to these standards.
By using our facilities, you agree to abide by this code and be subject to its disciplinary
provisions. We expect you to show respect for our fencers, coaches, visitors, staff, facility and the rules of the game. We expect you to be of good will with one another when differences arise and be generous and flexible as we strive to meet the needs of all our fencers.
1. Fencers must behave in a sportsmanlike manner at all times. Behavior that would get you a warning or yellow card at a competition will get you a warning or yellow card at the academy. This includes but is not limited to the following specific prohibitions.
.Swearing
.Name calling or negative talk
.Throwing equipment
.Yelling (unless you just scored a touch - or thought you did)
.Misuse of equipment (including hooking and unhooking from the overheads in middle of the strip)
Fencers who continue to violate these guidelines after being told to stop may
be required to stop fencing for the evening.
2. When differences of opinions arise, fencers are expected to resolve such differences quickly,
