Lock-down, skill-up!


Stacked images of referees of various ages and genders in action refereeing club comp bouts with varying degrees of theatricality. Two images on top row, three on the bottom row and in between is an orange stripe which spans the stack and on which are two lines of text: refereeing rocks! in purple, and lock-down, skill-up in white.

Refereeing rocks! Skilled referees are vital to making fencing safe, fair and fun, so while we wait until public health orders allow us to fence again, it’s a perfect time to skill up!

We’ve put together a selection of resources – from fun games to serious exam prep – so you can hone your refereeing skills from the comfort of your couch.

Check out the penalty charts and the referee hand signals in the FIE Rules, test your calls with Quarte Riposte, watch some bouts with commentary from top referees, and more – and get ready to practice your skills when we meet again!
