Parent, Coach, and Spectator Agreement

Marx Fencing Academy values creating a healthy sport environment for our fencers and recognizes building and maintaining a culture of positive sportsmanship requires cooperation among parents, coaches, and spectators as well as visiting families of opponents and their coaches. In order for fencers to grow as athletes, boundaries and guidelines must be set regarding the expectations of how parents, coaches and spectators will act.


Marx Fencing Academy Conduct Standards

Our competition will strictly adhere to USA Fencing Codes of Conduct, as well as SafeSport Guidelines including MAAP resources. In addition, our tournament has a specific set of guidelines outlined below. Every individual within our facility is expected to be familiar with, and adhere to these behavior expectations:

--Show encouragement to all fencers.

--Keep comments positive.

--Respect personal and professional boundaries of fencers, referees and coaches by providing space and keeping safe distances away from the fencing floor.

--Allow coaches and team leaders to coach, support and give advice to their fencers.

--Volunteer if you want to be more involved: bout committee, food runs, photography or becoming an armorer are just a few ways our community can be supported.

--Leave officiating to the officials.

--Avoid or ignore drama and unnecessary controversy that is unproductive.

--Help make our events a positive experience for us all.

--Report disruptions of these agreements to any tournament staff member.
