The 2021 Pathways Squad will support the great work of fencing clubs across Scotland by bringing together our most committed young athletes once a month from February 2021 to June 2021 to work on the necessary piste and life skills that support a positive competitive experience.
With a focus on fun, development and continuous improvement, the Pathways Squad will work together to ensure the athletes are given an opportunity to explore what they enjoy about the competitive fencing experience. Over the 2020–21 season, the athletes will develop the physical, emotional, social and mental skills required to meet the competitive challenge.
Goals
· To foster a safe, nurturing environment where athletes can have fun while taking part in challenges that reward effort, self-reflection and self-efficacy.
· To introduce high-performance principles into athletes’ training regimes, separating the performance ‘process’ from competition results.
· To build the foundations of physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and emotional regulation necessary for a positive competitive experience.
· To explore new ideas and ways of working that are relevant to each child’s unique needs.
· To enjoy the benefits of collaboration and cooperation between squad members, fostering a supportive environment and team spirit between Scotland’s young fencers.

· To encourage a positive, growth mindset in athletes, safeguarding their development and building a healthy relationship between their self-identity and the sporting performance process.

Challenge Wratislavia
Last year, the Pathways Squad was created to support Scotland’s young athletes prepare for Challenge Wratislavia, an annual tournament held in Poland that attracts hundreds of young fencers from all over Europe and beyond. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it impossible to anticipate whether Challenge Wratislavia will run and whether the travel corridor from Scotland to Poland will be open. We also appreciate that some of our fencers and their families may not feel comfortable travelling abroad for such a large international event, even if it is possible to attend.
As a result, we are not asking Pathways athletes to commit to travelling to Challenge Wratislavia in 2021. Scottish Fencing will not be sending staff to Challenge Wratislavia in 2021.

COVID-19 Guidelines
We are committed to keeping our fencers and staff as safe as possible. We will adhere to the most up-to-date COVID-19 guidelines for sport and physical activity as set by SportScotland and the Scottish Government. This may require us to alter training schedules or stagger the training times for weapon groups and/or age groups. We will inform you of any changes as quickly as we can. If a fencer or anyone in their household is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, please do not attend in-person training. Follow the guidelines from NHS Inform to keep yourself and others safe: https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-covid-19-general-advice.
