The International Fencing Coaches Association (IFCA) was established in 2014 as a worldwide collaboration of fencing coaches for the advancement of coaching skills in this sport. The IFCA seeks to support all coaches by providing a system of coach education and certification, collaborating on the production of teaching resources for coaches and hosting training workshops and conferences. The IFCA welcomes the input of any coach who wishes to share their knowledge of the sport and is happy to receive contributions of teaching material for publication through the IFCA.
