This seminar will facilitate a collaborative environment where games with various materials and learning/training objectives will be shared via video. The focus of this seminar is to inform and inspire fencing coaches to incorporate meaningful games into their classes and camps. The games presented have been gathered by Coaches Marchant and Salmon over decades of working with national team coaches and athletes, running camps and training athletes in the club environment. Modifications of approaches will be shared to increase difficulty for students of various experience levels and capabilities. Games introduced will serve a variety of developmental objectives to include balance, coordination, large and small motor skill development, reaction time, speed, agility, rhythm, focus/concentration, teamwork, communication, problem solving and sportsmanship. Participants are encouraged share their ideas and modifications for games as well.
