Sparring Information

Coaches Coaches will be registered by their players during the online process. We can then monitor how many players a coach has and advise the club if they have insufficient coaches. A maximum of three (3) calls to the field of play will be given. Fights will proceed in fight number order. If a player is not ready, the fight will proceed with or without a coach. A coach may enter the court to commence coaching even if the match has started. In 2015 we had very good behaviour from the coaches. We will enforce the same measures to ensure this behaviour maintained. Two misconduct warnings and a coach will NOT be allowed to coach for the rest of the day. A coach briefing meeting will occur 30 minutes prior to the start time of each day of the sparring competition. Coaches are required to attend briefings.

Competitors in these divisions must have the Daedo efoot protectors. The new style efoots will be allowed. A limited number of foot protectors will be available for purchase on the day.
