How can we prevent concussions in our sport?

The BCFA and CFF are dedicated to counteracting the impact of concussions in the sport of fencing, which is why we encourage all members of the Canadian fencing community to familiarize themselves with the CFF Concussion Protocol, Concussion Code of Conduct for Athletes and the Concussion Code of Conduct for Coaches, Trainers and Officials.
