About the session

The session introduces the Junior GBR Pathway, helping athletes and parents understand development stages, season and competition planning, rankings, selection, and major events. Designed for both athletes entering the Junior pathway and those already competing within it, the session provides valuable insight into the opportunities, expectations, and support available throughout the season. It also covers the behaviours, support roles, parent responsibilities, administration, safeguarding, and resources needed to navigate the pathway confidently.

About BF Learning Month

Due to popular demand and feedback from previous iterations of BF Learning Week, BF has now extended the event to a Learning Month. Now named BF Learning Month, this year’s event will be taking place between the 23rd July and 21st August 2026.

It is an annual opportunity for our members and wider community to join online developmental and informative sessions in subjects from coaching to community development.

BF Learning Month is also supporting the first online International Fencing Research Committee (IFRC) Conference. The IFRC welcomes leading researchers, coaches, and practitioners from around the world to explore the latest advances in fencing science and methodology.
